Something like that will have people praising ZFS' ability to safeguard their data, and the way it recovers even after system crashes or when hardware has gone wrong.

I see a career in politics for you. Barring an operating system implementation bug, the type of problem you are talking about is due to improperly working hardware. Irreversibly reverting to a previous checkpoint may or may not obtain the correct data. Perhaps it will produce a bunch of checksum errors.
