Heya!

I think that the two ids would probably be better exposed by PID 1
istelf, instead of hostnamed. It's a bit difficult to come up with a
rule which props should be exposed from hostnamed and which ones from
PID1, but I think the rule should be something along the lines of "if
it's more an automatically determined property than a user or vendor
chosen one, and if PID 1 knows/caches it anyway then it belongs into PID
1"...

So, could you please move the machine/boot IDs into PID 1 instead of
hostnamed, next to where the Virtualization/Architecture properties are
defined?

Also, please use "ay" instead of "s" as type for the property (i.e. a
byte-array of the 16 raw uuid bytes instead of an ascii-formatted
string). This is how we encoded UUIDs so far as bus properties, see
machined's machine uuid property (src/machine/machine-dbus.c) for example.

Thanks!
