Probably the GUID is a bit of a red herring, since in the case there are
millions of boxes it will be a ton of work to maintain the database of
them and compare every log line against it, for limited hard
information.
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.
or cases like I have just recently set up where I created my own
repository (yam soon to be known as depo) and all computers will
install/update from there and will never touch a fedoraproject
repository at all.
