Can I assign a ServiceID myself?

Hello,

I am using a non-persistent reggie.  I have been waiting to be
discovered and then taking the assigned ServiceID.  However, I am
wondering if I can assign a random ServiceID myself.  This would be an
advantage to me in an integration context where I would like to register
the ServiceID somewhere else before the service is actually started.
Can I generate my own using UUID.randomUUID(), convert it into a
ServiceID, and then call the alternate JoinManager ctor that accepts a
pre-assigned ServiceID?

It's all UUIDs.  Does it make a difference who assigns it?

Does it make a different if I am using persistent reggie?

Thanks,

-bryan
