I don't remember hearing an answer on why this is necessary. For
which
use case can't you just either use -uuid `uuidgen` or a hardcoded
default value like the Slirp IPv4 subnet?
It can be used for UUID generation when VM is started for the first
time.
Management application can retrieve UUID using monitor and use it for
consequent runs. But the same result can be achieved in a different
way
too. So no, I really don't have a strong use case for this feature,
but
the patch set is organised in such way that it is possible to ignore
this particular patch.
