This approach looks to be MUCH MUCH better than what we're doing right 
now!

The uuid is never encrypted.

Yes (I don't think it's useful to support a mixed encrypted/unencrypted 
OSD).

My only regret is that it won't help non-systemd cases, but I'm okay with 
leaving those as is (users can use the existing workarounds, like 
'ceph-disk activate-all' in rc.local to mop up stragglers) and focus 
instead on the new systemd world.

Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!
