What's the likelihood that people just uncomment this line, and this becomes a very common "uuid" that is no longer unique? http://www.snopes.com/business/taxes/woolworth.asp
The sample is worthwhile, to show the locations where - must appear, but is it any better to write the sample as a known-invalid string, with all digits the same?
Yeah, we should replace it with # NB: to generate a unique value for your machine # run 'uuidgen' and copy the output here #host_uuid = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://deltacloud.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
