Yes, and additionally, i guess we have to understand why, if the stable
identifiers are the long term goal, are we adopting the transition solution
in the first place.
I mean, any solution will imply the modification of all the hosts, so why is
that an intermediate solution is adopted instead of the definitive one?
(this was a very good point mentioned by Iljitsch a while ago)
So, perhaps the case for an intermediate solution exists but i guess it
still not clear yet.
