You're not going to wipe /var to do a reset casually - the idea would
be, this hardware isn't coming back to this environment. An easy
option with snapshots is you can define your own rollback point, which
includes environment specific configuration rather than the "wipe /var
and /etc" method of factory reset.
Who exactly is the alleged user of the "factory reset" feature?
Nobody in their right mind should think, or be lead to think, that 'rm
-rf /some /dirs' is sufficient to wipe your possibly confidential data
to a degree that you can just ship the hardware away.
