You can lookup past flame-wars on this list for details, but UUIDs are
basically `safer' for several reasons, and embody the essential spirit
of taglines a bit more purely (they are meaningless strings, which need
only be unique).

[Along those lines, an example using which is equally random, but
different in format, e.g.:

  # arch-tag: yoMomma^^^^&*&())))address@hidden

might reinforce the point.]

I think Tom uses what he does because that's what his emacs frob
happens to generate and he doesn't care enough to change it.
