So? How does the idempotency of GET affect the UUID service?
Quoting from the RFC: A sequence that never has side effects is
idempotent, by definition (provided that no concurrent operations are
being executed on the same set of resources).
Hence the UUID service is idempotent, as it has no side effects.
