Oh. Your patch comment strongly implies that the current behaviour of xend
is to check for UUID uniqueness, and that you are changing this to a check
for name uniqueness. And that looks like what this patch does, too.

But here you seem to be saying that xend enforces neither UUID uniqueness
nor name uniqueness?
