Hi,
one of the major bloating factors of the CIB right now are the

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.
epoch seconds perhaps?
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,
