I don't have access to any ESX system, so I couldn't check. At least with our
(very) old VMWare Server when doing a snapshot, the configuration is saved,
so on revert you get the old configuration again. That difference was
actually what got us to implement this for Qemu as well.
VBox I didn't check: We're using it for another project I'm currently not
working on, but there libvirt isn't used to manage it.

Yes, but for a PoC that was the easiest thing to do. Glad you spotted that.
