If you remember Rusty's guide to interfaces, this is a level 14 easy to

no correct use" because statistically every time you use it, you expose
yourself to potential duplicate WWNs.
Now that you have said "there's no correct use" you have managed to
logic yourself into silly-land.
That is utterly specious logic when duplicate WWNs are quite unlikely,
and furthermore -- as demonstrated by use in network drivers -- use of
the feature itself is not the common case.
Field experience directly contradicts this entire line of reasoning.
OK, give me your use case.
I already have, in this thread.
