The system varient also has the same issue. You shouldn't trust
the clients supplying this information.
If we are just using this UUID to count machines, it doesn't matter what the
UUID is. Just that it's different between machines.
Yes, if they are not so long as to break the software and no public report
has the actual strings so the project doesn't get embarrassed and no one who
has to look at the strings is easily offended, then it isn't a problem.
The system varient is probably a bit different of a case. Unexpected varients
could end up in public reports depending on things are designed. It might
be good to throw out any data which has unexpected varients in it.
