[Opensim-users] Question - About avatar UUID

[Chris]

The biggest pro in keeping your prior UUID that I can think of is, if 
you have backed up your inventory and/or regions via IAR and OAR files 
respectively, is the assurance that the things that you've created will 
maintain their proper permissions relative to the UUID that created 
them. Else when you restore your inventory and regions it is highly 
likely that you will end up with the wrong permissions on your own items 
if you didn't think to full perm ahead of time (And even that isn't a 
guarantee given the finicky-ness of the permissions system in OpenSim) 
because OpenSim will see your new UUID as technically a completely 
different person and as such applies the "Next Owner" perms to your items.

I can't really think of a major con for keeping your prior UUID aside 
from possibly cache issues between grids where you've chosen to keep the 
old one in cases of running multiple grid instances with different 
databases but same UUID. Which is pretty easily remedied by clearing 
your viewer cache before switching grids.
