I can see your reasoning, but there are some other details that would come up if the manual page was changed to include a note about not restoring the DUID: There are other fields which are not restored, (and for good reason), such as boundstart, boundend, etc. If the manual was changed to mention DUID without mentioning the others, anybody reading it could make other assumptions, (I.E. that everything except DUID is restored). Documenting everything in the manual page would probably be excessive, since many of the non-restored fields are obsolete anyway and unlikely to be encountered or cared about. But feel free to submit a proposed manual page change for review by others anyway.
