This is needed in order to allow faster testing of historical sync to genesis in networks that have no strict finality. Currently, the alternative is to use either testnet or mainnet snapshot, but then the test takes weeks to execute. The new functionality should allow modification of the snapshot and removal of some or all finality signatures in order to simulate "weak" or "no" finality on a given block.
