It seems like it would be worth including somewhere global-ish i.e. disable-common.inc, otherwise it might be enough to access many otherwise sensitive files of people who happen to use Timeshift.

I've noticed it while sandboxing Brave because /run/timeshift helpfully appeared in a file open dialog, and for my installation added it to disable-common.local.

I'm running (locally backported) 0.9.66 so I apologize if this is already fixed in newer versions.
