Comment(by johnbillion):

 Replying to [comment:1 dd32]:
 > A Guid is a "Globally Unique ID", Which shouldn't change when the
 location of the content has changed. As such, Moving between servers
 shouldnt change the GUID.
 This is an interesting issue. If content is exported from A.com and
 imported into B.com and the GUIDs are unaltered, then the GUID for a
 particular post/object is no longer a globally unique as it remains
 present on the original site A.com (assuming the post/object isn't
 deleted).

 If each GUID was changed to reflect the fact the content was now on B.com
 (as this ticket originally suggested) then the GUIDs would remain globally
 unique.

 I think the OP might have a point.
