You may as well abandon https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29262, for these
reasons alone:

- JSON doesn't support storing binary data
- a snapshot should be contained in a single file

The UPB patch addresses the above. Vitaliy's patch does nothing to address

The UBP patch is not an alternative - show me another hypervisor that uses
JSON as their snapshot format.

No, it's not. I've given you feedback multiple times.
