Henry Robinsson, a product manager at VMware, just posted a topic on the VMTN community forums requestion feedback on VMware snapshots. (Thanks William Lam for pointing this out) I am uncertain what this feedback will lead into but usually it is used as guidance for the direction a specific product or feature is heading into.
If you want to be part of the people who directed a VMware feature into a specific direction I would suggest heading over to the survey linked below and fill it out!
I would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to respond to this survey. Your response will guide our future product offerings in this area. The survey is about 20 questions and should take you just a few minutes to fill out.
I will post a summary of the results after suitable feedback.
Regards,
Henry Robinson

For the love of $DIETY can everyone please ask for the button that commits a snapshot back to be renamed from “delete” to something more sensible!
duncan says
Yes I agree, “delete” doesn’t fit.
Edward Marshall says
1. Make time snapshot was taken more obvious.
2. Allow you to specify automatic expiration of the snapshot in case you forget!
Filled in the survey!
Lessi says
Well, “delete” does not fit – but what would be better…
collapse or accumulate?
Just completed the survey.
RuiDias says
What about “commit”?
you are really doing a commit on that delta, right?
Alexandr Anfalov says
What about “merge”?
We are really doing a split, while making snapshot, so the opposite action is “merge”. Split/Merge pair is used very often, so it’s known not only by native speakers.
