Worst case scenario. A person brings a fully operating system to InstallFest
and has some flavor of Linux installed. Later, said person shows their evil
side and claims their system was irreparably damaged by the InstallFest
installer. In truth, the evil user has the original fully operating system
tucked away in their garage and is using a garbage system as proof of their
claim (they switched them).

Without serial numbers, associated with the waiver, there is no way we can
prove which system was present at InstallFest.

Why would we need to prove (some of you may ask)? After all, they signed a
waiver right?

Will the waiver alone cover our butts? Does the evil user have a legitimate
legal claim? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer, so I say better safe than
sorry, include the serial numbers.

I agree with the right to privacy, but not if it opens me up to legal attack
(my point of view).

For those people who show up to get a system installed, AND have a problem
with the serial numbers on the waiver, they can simply watch other installs,
see how it's done, and do it themselves (again, my point of view).
