Since version 1.1, the UUID of every generated profile is stable, and
MacOS should overwrite the config when it's installed again.

For us, in one example a person moves from an institution that is also an eduroam IdP, to our campus-- either as a student or faculty or staff member.  Their old credentials are invalid and they use CAT to install our profile.  Are you saying that the old profile will not be removed because it has a different UUID?

In another case, we change a configuration in our CAT profile because we need to modify our trusted root CA / intermediate CA / server CA.  Does this then generate a new UUID and therefore would not remove the old profile if re-installed?

I believe I've seen what UDel reports regarding macOS and iOS.  I can do some testing and provide more info.
