I don't think there's a feature to request or a bug to fix in that case.
It's allowed for a human to have more than one eduroam account, and we
don't know if the previous one expired or not, and if it maybe has a
reason for continued existence. So there's no deletion action to take
just because another IdP's credential is added.

Good point.  And we do see this with exchange / international students who visit for only a semester or two, so I can understand protecting the old profile in this scenario.

No, as you can see from the above explanation, that condition keeps the
UUID (unless you also change inst name or profile name at the same time).

There is the remote possibility that you have inst or profile names in
different languages, and that a user installed the profile once in one
locale and once in another. Can we assume that this is not the situation
we are looking at?

Maybe this explains what we saw then, as our profile name has been updated at different times.  As I said previously, I'll test and let you know if I find anything relevant.

And as usual, thanks for your explanations Stefan.
