That was disabled temporarily because changing the fs UUID meant that
every piece of checksummed metadata with an embedded UUID would then
mismatch.

It was fixed (re-allowed) with

ce748ea xfs: create new metadata UUID field and incompat flag

in the kernel and

9c4e12f xfsprogs: Add new sb_meta_uuid field, update userspace tools to manipulate it

in xfsprogs.
