>and stuff that relies on (for instance) having an official serial number (like iMessage) will also fail.

Which is not true. I have gotten my iMessage to work without having to clone a serial number.

I'm curious about that, since iMessage and iTunes Match have been a constant source of trouble to one of my colleagues. He also mentions that the device is flagged as "Untrusted" in Find My Mac...

The idea is to generate a valid serial number (in form) that is not used by someone else. Not sure if things have changed, though, but I used this last year and it worked. It still shows up on my account as an iMac 2013.
