>Hmm, I think we'd probably still want to use our main ROOT_UUID_NAMESPACE for phase 2 customizations, as long as we're keeping the models fairly similar and plan to sync to the same place.

I don't think syncing to the same place is a good idea (for stats purposes).  But we can talk about it another time, and this change could be made uber-easy in phase 2 mods.  So, will remove the getattr logic here.
