At the risk of rehasing what's in the spec, if there aren't cases where users would want 'hw_unique_serial=False' then what is the upside of ever supporting non-unique serials going forward? Could we not just default to unique serials, avoiding these knobs?
The answer to this, and Jay's same question elsewhere in this thread, is likely going to need to come from danpb who I think originally added the serial stuff in the libvirt driver. I could not find discussions about why the serial was per-host rather than per-guest in the original code changes. So besides "this is the way it's always been" and I'm risk averse to backward incompatible changes, I don't have a good answer. -- Thanks, Matt
