As part of the previously described schemes, the admin is certainly
allowed to choose an option (manual WWN specification) that enables an
external system of persistance.

But such a system should not be a /requirement/, when all an admin might
want to do is simply get their card working.

The admin knows whats best for their site, and may choose.
