Per RFC 4122, section 3: "The hexadecimal values "a" through "f" are output as lower case characters" This is a request to have `uuidgen` updated to output generated UUIDs in all lower case. "%08x-%04x-%04x-%04x-%012x" (with lowercase 'x') should be used instead of "%08X-%04X-%04X-%04X-%012X" that is noted in UUIDGEN(1)
