--- Comment #2 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> ---
The same GUID is used because I didn't want to break reproducibility of VM
images (the main use-case for makefs -t zfs).  That is, if you and I both build
an image with the same inputs, the output images should be byte-identical.

Certainly the documentation is deficient, I'll work on that.  I don't have
strong feelings on what the default behaviour should be, but I'm a bit inclined
towards keeping the current default and adding a non-reproducible mode.  How
exactly are you using makefs?
