All the other ones were that way. The end is more likely to be
unique than the beginning.
Also now that we have 39 characters, the chances that some truncation
is going to happen is even less.
The idea is to try to pick the end that will increase the chances
of uniqueness. So for user names that have first and last, the last
name is more likely to be unique than the first names.
But do you have other experience that shows we should change jobOwner
to the first 39 characters?
Do we need to make this an ISSUE?
