Bug Description

ID for user and tenant is a changeable string. There needs to be a non-changeable, permanently unique identifier that persists after a username or tenant change.

Ex:
UUID (thing with which to tag resource ownership) and ID (thing with which to display - NOT to join - no uniqueness or consistancy claims)

we need a LABEL (for humans) and an UUID (for software/accounting/...)
and changing the LABEL doesn't require nova/swift/... to update all the records for ownership
since we wouldn't store the LABEL in the detail records, just the UUID
...
