The patch is alright, but the configuration of WWID determination is already sooo complicated... I'm not too happy about adding yet another option which complicates matters further. IMO we should rather attempt to make this easier for users (meaning less options, less combinations thereof, and less "x supersedes y but only if z is not set" kind of logic). This is not a nack, I just want to understand.
