Probably the GUID is a bit of a red herring, since in the case there are

Why? Just running uuidgen -r once per install and saving it somewhere is
good enough.

Because boxes will typically download specific updated
RPMs just the once, you can get an idea of the number of active boxes
just by filtering on packages that have been updated for a while.

That's wrong assumption, many people use proxies to avoid downloading
updates for each box again and again.
