I can think of few ways to revert changes with btrfs, but I wonder
what are the trade-offs between each method and perhaps there is
already research done on this?

ways to restore a snapshot ( post kernel 3.* ):
a) via set-default
 1. btrfs subvolume set-default / $id
 2. reboot
b) always mount into snapshot
 1. mount -o suvol=/.current $disk # at initrd
 2. btrfs subvol del /.current
 3. btrfs subvol snapshot /.snapshotA /.current
 4. reboot
c) rsync
 1. rsync $options /.snapshotA /.current
 2. reboot
