Richard Miskin commented on NIFI-826:
-------------------------------------
Using a template id and a timestamp sequence seems to make sense, but I wonder
if relying on an internally generated id might lead to non-obvious changes to
the ordering of a template. If we can rely on items that are under the users
control then changes to the generated template might be easier to understand.
I'll start looking at the code in detail and see if I can come up with
something sensible that works.

>
> Templates should be exported in a deterministic way so that they can be
> compared or diff'ed with another. Items to consider...
> - The ordering of components
> - The id's used to identify the components
> - Consider excluding irrelevant items. When components are imported some
> settings are ignored (run state).
