"Concerns"?  As in it happened to them, or they just thought "Oh maybe
it could happen"?  If it did happen, was it with a UUID-style tagline,
or an "old style" lots-of-random-info tagline?

Search/replace problems _do_ happen with the latter, because they tend
to contain lots of common strings, but I've never heard of any problems
with the former.

If this approach were used, I think something a bit shorter would
suffice...
