Derez, please note bz #1092447, according to our costumer demand this bug should be included at our RFE,"Provide a global view of all existing snapshots in a common single place, Allow sorting of all existing snapshots by their size."

Memory snapshots are snapshots, and they actually weigh more than most volumes (between 4-16 Giga, depends of-course on VM's Vcpu).
I don't see a point to release this feature without bz #1092447.
don't you agree?

You're right. Memory snapshots could potentially have large storage consumption, however, the requirement hasn't made it to 3.5. So, indeed, should be addressed as part of bug 1092447 in a later version.

No.
In most sensible usages of live snapshots a disk snapshot would be several orders of magnitude larger than memory snapshots.
This feature has plenty of useful usecases even without memory snapshots, which will take quite some work to add there.
