Really the integration is into diskdrake, and also used by installer i presume. Assignee:

mageiatools I also read it have an addon for grub2, so an old snapshot can be booted if the current do not. This requires a fair bit of work, and would likely necessitate a new manatool to provide the interface for this. From the GRUB perspective, if we're already pulling the patch set from Fedora, we should at least have basic functionality there, and would more or less need to automate the setup process as described here[1]. There's also some work that has to be done to migrate the snapper plugin to libdnf (so that PackageKit uses it automatically), which should be pretty easy but hasn't been done yet.

This is called grub-btrfs. This helps to load the snapshot from the grub menu. https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs CC:
