While I understand the usefulness of having this in commit messages to track changes, is there any way we could get the old numbers displayed in change listings? (e.g. the 'all open changes' page) I know what change 717 is, but change I6fd5cbb924053446689c576026f9044f78ba71be is a bit harder to remember. Seeing only that as the identifier for a change is pretty much useless for me.
In general, changes to gerrit should be discussed over on the repo- discuss list. I don't want OpenAFS to end up maintaining its own fork of gerrit, so we really need to work with upstream to get changes made there.
In this case, though, I think Shawn pretty much has a plan to kill off numerical change IDs. The main reason for this is that when gerrit moves to git storage, the plan is that it will operate as a distributed system. Change IDs which are particular to a single server won't allow that kind of distribution to occur.
