To have snapshots before and after pacman did any changes to the
filesystem (i.e. upgraded packages), so one can easily rollback to a
known good state in case of an error, and/or look at the difference
between two snapshots to figure out what might cause an issue.

You can find more information on snapper here [1]. There are appropriate
hooks for aptitude and YaST, so I'm now looking into getting this
functionality with Arch.
