Doesn't seem to apply to us. The discussion appears to be about non 
USBView-like enumeration (i.e. trying to not build the full picture but 
infer data from bits and pieces) whereas we're building the whole thing 
in an USBView-like fashion. We also don't care at all about the content 
of the system global unique ID. Whether its changes or stays the same is 
of no concern, as we don't infer anything from it.
