For what reason would anyone need the GUIDs? To get the logo maybe? I
don't know.

I didn't see a reason to expose the GUIDs either, but hey I'm just
stating the obvious here.

PHP had a way to get the logo exposed to userspace. It seems like we
just make up these reasons as we go along. When they were GUIDs they
were OK when they became data URIs, obviously (and for reasons that
appear to be obvious only to those who make these decisions) they
weren't.

I guess I need to get in on this foresight I'm not in possession of.
