One of the things we were trying to do was to not add YAU (Yet
Another UUID).
That is, we were hoping to hook into one of the existing mechanisms (either
dbus or systemd) so that we could re-use this infrastructure. That way
existing software wouldn't have to learn about yet another place to fetch a
UUID from.
If it turns out that this is impossible, then so be it. But I still think we
should investigate the options for integrating with the existing mechanisms.
Or did I completely mis-understand your point?
I don't think what you said conflicts with what Andrew said... Matahari
has other use cases than just cloud, so we'll provide a set of UUIDs.
Some of them may be useful for Cloud, others would be ignored. Make sense?
