Not quite. I wanted to use LaunchpadObjectFactory to create example data
that I could play with. E.g. a script create-20-persons.py, which would
create 20 person records. Before you could run it once to create 20
persons, but not twice to create 40.

My implementation used uuids, though. Someone else changed it to
integers, since they thought that the generated names were too long.
