I resized an ext3 partition, and moved and resized a swap partition
(without even changing its relative order to other partitions). The
UUID of the ext3 partition did not change. I see no reason why the
UUID of the swap would *have to* change. It is just what was for some
reason easier for gparted developers to do.
