// entropy so is suitable for infrequently occuring events with low probability
// of collision. It is not suitable for UUIDs for very frequent events. It's
// main purpose is to assign unique values to CA certificate Common Names which
// need to be unique in some providers - see CACN - but without using up large
// amounts of the limited 64 character Common Name. It also makes the values
// more easily digestable by humans considering there are likely to be few of

// think they already have a valid cert for that CN and just return the current
// root.

// This can be generated by any means but will be truncated to 8 chars and
// sanitised to DNS-safe chars. CompactUID generates suitable UIDs for this
// specific purpose.

//   {provider}-{uniqueID_first8}.{pri|sec}.ca.<trust_domain_first_8>.consul

//   trust domain is truncated to keep the whole name short
