Serge,
The caller here is all our end users.
I'd like to argue for carrying a patch against upstream. All the other major virtual machines set a system UUID by default: - VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#idp12395280 (search for hardwareuuid) - VMWare: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1541 - Parallels: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=32400
Microsoft requires it for Logo Certification, as I understand it.
I can't imagine it doing any harm. I suspect there are countless more things in the wild depending on one being set than there are ones expecting a NULL value.
