I don't know whether it's small in required effort, but I know as a user the feature would be big. I actually have a non-critical, redundant backup system that I was set to install with .31, betting on the snapshot removal. You can't please all the people all the time, but I thought I'd write to voice an opinion for prioritizing it for .32.
