  This setting is "opt-in" on the client side.  I think there are a
  couple of questions about package repository operators that prefer to
  be opt-out (or required a UUID, I suppose), and on whether the
  opt-in/opt-out initial setting should come from an external source.

  My example is that CD images won't have a UUID but, on subsequent
  boot, might need a --reset-uuid to generate a new one.  Should this be
  a transient service that, if some property is true, does the reset?

  So, if uuid is None, the field says "None", right?  (As opposed to
  having two formats to handle.)
