I was quoting the man page there, it's primarily useful for testing
because testing is an application where getting an identical file is
useful.

The only downside is that if you set all your files to the same serial
number you won't be able to create larger chained files concatenating
them. If you don't do this in your application then it's not an issue.
If you do, you'll want to give each file a unique serial number.
