Depends on the size of an organisation: if you had roaming laptops with
VM's then a large organisation would want to have some control if staff
moved between VLAN's. Bringing devices into a VLAN may cause problems with
made up MAC's. Creating the wrong kind of traffic on a VLAN might cause
problems with firewalls or old network equipment.
To have a pool of MAC's with central management available for R&D would
seem to make sense?
