Depends on the problem we are trying to solve :P This patch fixes the issue with multiple bridges of different types in a simple way (which is currently an issue for us). The UUID method would be more "complete" and solve the issues with multiple bridges of the same type but I think we can apply this one till we have an implementation for it. What do you think?
