Is it bad practice or a bad idea to have a "generic" provisioning profile?

Fot testing iPhone apps, is it a bad idea to have a development code signing provision that will run any app with com.mydomain.* ?

Why?

EDIT:

See italicized edit above.

I doubt it, the provisioning profile is specific to a set of UUIDs. No one else would be able to use the profile unless they had your developer certificate and the specific device.

However, you can't test push notifications nor in-app purchases with a generic profile.

Are you talking about the development or distribution code signing provision?

I use a generic code signing provision for development (otherwise it would be absurd to run any sample code from online, or test apps).

For distribution though, I get a unique identifier. I sort of assumed it was required. Just for safety's sake.
