Comment (by zeenix):

 I don't understand this insistence of justifying a bug in Fedora's process
 of creating ISOs. libosinfo isn't doing anything weird. volume-id has been
 a very reliable easy method to differential ISOs and as the name suggests,
 it's an "ID" (short for identification[1]). As I mentioned before, every
 OS out there sets unique IDs on different ISOs they distribute. When it's
 not the case, we file bugs on the distro and this is the first time distro
 is telling us that we are doing it wrong.

 We now have means to also differentiate ISOs through volume-size (that I
 specifically added for Fedora) but that is only useful for releases (not
 Alpha, beta nightlies etc).

 Having said all that, if you have ideas on what other methods we could
 utilize to differentiate ISOs, I'm all ears (I really mean it).

 Regarding having not considered libosinfo's use case, I totally understand
 that you can't possibly think of all possible use cases but surely we can
 agree that it should have been kept in mind that volume-id are IDs and
 hence by definition it has to be unique.
