Use Case
When recovering my CA from a failure mode, there is a risk I may have issued some emergency certs with a serial that now conflicts with the state of the production CA.
Describe the solution you would like
Use of a UUID (particularly a time based uuid) would make the likelihood of collision very small.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Bumping the serial by hand a whole lot upon recovery.
