It was changed because we thought that the UUID was a burden because it
was difficult to remember and look for.

But I have no big objections to go back using the UUID, as a scenario
like the one Mark is heading was one of the reason I choose the UUID
initially as naming scheme.

Maybe we can provide symlinks to help admins? (As long as they will not
confuse FDS's init scripts).
Or maybe we can have a symlink under /etc/ipa, something like:
/etc/ipa/ds-instance-REALM -> /etc/dirsrv/slapd-1234-12345678-ABCD

Simo.
