Review Comment:
   Hello @jeantil 
   
   Issue is that while discussing of pragmatic code changes that enhance daily 
life of practitionners we uncover design flows that lead to methaphorical 
conceptual problem.
   
   > My understanding is that the Factory is responsible for creating instances 
of BlobId that point to a specific object (generate BlobIds)
   
   ```
   public interface BlobId {
   
       interface Factory {
           BlobId of(String id);
   
           BlobId parse(String id);
       }
   
       String asString();
   }
   ```
   
   I see no generate method.
   
   Generation is an actual responsibility of the BlobStore, or of its caller.
   
   Proof:
    - 
https://github.com/apache/james-project/blob/aef61d6fc9655698a8bff1521398ff110388e2d1/server/blob/blob-storage-strategy/src/main/scala/org/apache/james/server/blob/deduplication/PassThroughBlobStore.scala#L93
    - 
https://github.com/apache/james-project/blob/aef61d6fc9655698a8bff1521398ff110388e2d1/server/blob/blob-storage-strategy/src/main/scala/org/apache/james/server/blob/deduplication/DeDuplicationBlobStore.scala#L103
    
    At the minimum a concrete clarification would be a `s/of/wrap/g` or 
`s/of/decorate/g` - if this sounds relevant to others I agree opening sucha PR.
   
   Please note that in the example taken: `BlobMailRepository`:
   
   ```
         val blobId = blobIdFactory.of(mailKey.asString())
   ```
   
   The decision to rely on a MailKey as the storage identifier is not ecoded in 
the BlobId.Factory either.
    
    > I was kinda expecting a TimePrefixedBlobIdFactory
   
   TBH as we are not actively using the date information encoded in the object 
name this present little added value to operate of a "typed" blobId. 
   
   The only use of information encoded by the blobId to a useful process is to 
my knowledge the GC to leverage a grace period cf 
https://github.com/apache/james-project/blob/aef61d6fc9655698a8bff1521398ff110388e2d1/server/blob/blob-storage-strategy/src/main/java/org/apache/james/server/blob/deduplication/BloomFilterGCAlgorithm.java#L277
   
   Also my consern about "typed" BlobId is that it interoperate badly.
   
   The beauty of the proposed design here (PlainBloId factory) is that we 
naturally handle historical data without needing some complex fallback logic 
for an information that is not actually needed.
   
   Cheers.
