I don't see how relaxing that requirement shall save space, unless 
you're speaking about compressed baseline backup.

OTOH, I agree that the immediate access to the last copy is a plus (oops 
recovery), but in the case of delayed recovery - several days or 
generation - I think it's more an exploration of the metadata that 
count.  And then I'm not convinced that the filesystem is the best 
interface.
