Definitely not instead of the name, as most(?) services needs actually the source name (things like subdir in QubesIncoming, or split-gpg prompt). As for extra data, its usefulness would also be limited (generally, the source qube is running during the connection, and the name cannot be changed while qube is running). And adding extra info to the protocol would be an API change anyway so needs to wait for R4.3. |

This version is quite a bit simpler than I thought, but it has no fallback to the name if the UUID symlink is not present, and doesn’t set up the UUID symlink itself. Therefore, it does not work. Would it be possible to use an environment variable @marmarek? That could help avoid circular dependencies during upgrade. Of course, an alternative is to use snapshots to make the entire upgrade atomic, which is probably a better solution as so many things can fail. |

Forcing updating core-admin and core-qrexec at the same time via dependency is okay. There is no need to handle new qubesd starting old qrexec-daemon. Since it isn't necessary, I'd prefer to simply use a command line parameter for UUID, which is much cleaner than giving name via cmdline and UUID via environment. |

This allows using UUIDs in qrexec policy, using the syntax uuid:VM_UUID. This works anywhere a VM name is expected. Since ':' is not allowed in VM names, there is no ambiguity. This requires the corresponding change to qubes-core-admin so that qubesd supports UUIDs in the admin and internal APIs. Fixes: QubesOS/qubes-issues#8510
