The project info and README.txt say that uuid should create uuids for roles but this seams to be not correct.
The uuid_get_core_entity_info() function from http://drupalcode.org/project/uuid.git/commitdiff/312ccf9acfa70724a9c689... does not provide the role table as supported core entity. And when installing the latest version 7.x-1.0-alpha3, the roles table is not altered.
Bug or (missing) feature?

dixon_It's neither a bug or missing feature :)
The Drupal 7 version of UUID no longer support roles. And here is my reasoning:
Roles are generally considered configuration, where the role name it self is considered a machine name, thus universally unique. The Features module are supporting and treating roles on these conditions. So there's no reason or need for UUID to change or duplicate that.
I know that skwashd (one of the co-maintainers) doesn't agree with this. So I won't reject a patch if someone want to write it :)
That said, the README file needs to be updated to reflect the current status of the D7 version. I'll fix this.

dixon_I've now committed a new rewritten README file, with text from our new project page. For reference, here's the new content:
