Yes, consider for example if you wanted to maintain community firmware
images on LVFS, for a given image (like U-Boot itself) you would
presumably update it for each board, which requires each board to have
it's own GUID so you can tell them apart.
If one of the payloads is identical for a bunch of boards then it might
make sense to use one GUID for it.
