Because, it have a problem of security. Don't know a number of a port opening out... then, can't understand the port with attacked possibility. When auto-select, Even if we perform an operative design before guest making, We don't understand we are using any number, and which number was used. It may be a very small niche usecase. But, I think security is not an at all small problem. So, I think that selection of a fixed port number is better. Thanks, Shigeki Sakamoto.
