On the one hand I think its good to re-use existing libraries where they fullfill our needs, but then we need to keep a built-in impl of UUID generator for non-Linux systems which typically won't have a e2fsprogs available. So rather than maintaining two separate impls of the UUID code, which splits the testing coverage, I'd be inclined to just always use the builtin version. Guarenteeing consistent algorithm / semantics for UUID generation across all platforms.
