Excellent. There are also tricks involving the audit subsystem, maybe
fuse and certainly strace (strace -e open). I have checked some of my
systems and so far I can see

dnsmasq
udev
dbus
systemd-*

looking at machine ids. Dnsmasq might warrant a close look - hopefully
that id does not get disclosed during dhcp negotiation...

The other three in that list I disable whenever possible already, and
the above provides yet further confirmation this is prudent.
