Yeah, so can anyone explain to me why this is a real problem?  If a
regular user wanted to be a d*ck and inject a bogus (or worse, I
imagine, duplicated) request-id, can any actual harm come out of it?  Or
does it just cause confusion to the guy reading the logs later?

(I'm assuming, of course, that the format will still be validated
strictly (req-$UUID) to preclude code injection kind of stuff.)

Thanks,
Eric (efried)
