    // BSDs, its documentation is quite light on the kind of UUID we get and
    // with what guarantees. The implementation of uuid_create() simply calls
    // the uuidgen() system call (<sys/uuid.h>, uuidgen(2)) which has some
    // details.
    //
    // Specifically (and as of FreeBSD 11.2), we get a version 1 (MAC/time-
    // based) UUID and it seems there is provision for getting the time in a
    // collision-safe:
    //
    // "According to the algorithm of generating time-based UUIDs, this will
    //  also force a new random clock sequence, thereby increasing the
    //  likelihood for the identifier to be unique."
    //
    // So we will assume a MAC/time-based UUID is strong. We also assume a
    // random UUID is strong as well in case in the future this will becomes
    // the default (as seems to be the trend); presumably, FreeBSD folks are
    // smart enough not to start return random UUIDs without a good source of
    // randomness, at least not by default.
