And given that the UUID is apparently from the filesystem (at least in
the case of ext2/3/4), when you snapshot a device you get a UUID
conflict and can never really be sure which one gets mounted.

Sure, I suppose one could/should change the UUID of a filesystem once
it's snapshotted, but in reality, that doesn't happen.
