Hi,
one of the major bloating factors of the CIB right now are the UUIDs in
the id tags, which is also a royal pita to enter in various places when
one wants to actually _use_ the darn thing ;-)
I've been wondering whether anyone would feel strongly about instead
assigning them (if the admin didn't fill it in himself) in a id="id-%d"
format, were %d is a continuously increasing number.
Afterall, they are basically free-form strings anyway, so there's no
point in using something inconvenient.
That would reduce the CIB size considerably - both on-disk, in the logs,
but also somewhat on the wire. (UUIDs, being random, don't compress as
well as plain text.)
Sincerely,
Lars Marowsky-Brée
