I'm sympathetic to Lennart's arguments, but really this should be
discussed and decided in the context of a real, open forum, drawing
interested people from all of the Linux distros (possibly BSD etc
too).  Perhaps LSB?

So I don't think changes like this, and /etc/machine-id, and
/etc/os-release and others should come by fiat, although (again) I'm
very sympathetic to why these things are being done.
