That's used for machine names which already include a bunch of other unique
tags, including a jclouds generated random number. Of course we could use a
similar strategy, it's just something that's not in place atm.
+1 for the change in general, maybe start with shorter ID restrictions at
first, until projects had the time to catch with the changes.
