Hi, I was not aware of this addition. It is clear that having these UIDs it will be simpler to check if the archetype has changed, as you say. But is it also the intention of these UIDs to be used to fill the archetype_id attributes in the RM instances? Or the link between the instance and an specific archetype will be done using the traditional archetype identifier+version+revision+build? Moreover, if now we will have unique identifiers with version+revision+build, why do we need an additional UID?
