There will useful for when user want to create a image from an existing VM. User create a VM and configure this VM. He want to create several VMs with this VM.
There are two ways for him. 1. use backing store (http://libvirt.org/formatstorage.html#StorageVolBacking) for the existing img 2. create an base image to OOTB ISO pool from the existing VM. When are are snapshots on the VM base image. we should merge the all snapshots and the base image. Then he can create a template from this image. And create a VM from this template.
That is what Royce proposed in "[RFC] Create VM from image" Some tasks were already added to 1.3 Plan: https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/wiki/Todo-1.3
