Grub drops the timezone.  So do blkid and /dev/disk/by-uuid .

The creation timestamp is actually optional in ISO-9660 (in case it's not given 
it's supposed to be 0) so it could be that the uuids on the system are not all 
that unique.  I think this case should be caught in the generic uuid matcher 
too.
