Hi, Eric This is in fact same with v1 except the spelling fixes.
I switched back to v1 because of your concern about the same id reusing issue. For v1, unplugging 100000 times is not likely and insane, so I think we can safely ignore it. Unless qemu-img create some uuid for disk imgs I think there's no way to create some really ideal *uniq* ids.
