[issue41552] uuid.uuid1() on certain Macs does not generate unique IDs

[Vedran Čačić]

+1 on xoring all MAC addresses to get NodeID. Since it is only done once at import time, it shouldn't be too expensive (many other things including OS calls are done at initialization). But yes, if the problem goes away with new version of _uuid, then the fix isn't needed.
