At least with RAID it's enumeration that'd solve that. With UUID, I'm not sure. I wonder where IPv4 vs IPv6 falls under in this mess too.

IPv6 actually _is_ a newer version of the Internet Protocol. I think that is a plain old version. Sure, we don't know what happened to IPv5 (unless we google it), but that's not that weird, that happens with other things and their versions, versions get abandoned.
