No worries at all.  Thanks for working with me to make the fix as good as it can be.

I don’t mind, but interestingly enough, test_uuid does not fail for me locally in either the 2.7 or 3.6 branches!  I don’t know what’s different, since I’m running them on exactly the same machine, but that does seem to be the case.

Still, I think it makes sense to backport the change in check, without backporting the feature change or code cleanups, so I’ll work on branches for those.
