Thanks for chasing this upstream.

No, an always-changing UUID defeats the purpose for us. We need a means of providing a key for users to see their crash data, persisted across installs.

Sure, and in architectures that do not have a platform UUID, such as ARM, we'll have to use a combination of other hardware identifiers (such as mac addresses) to fill the gap. See bug 963007 for one conversation on that.

But we ultimately need something that ties back to that machine.
