At this point, I think we need to consider ossp-uuid as dead code.
Yeah, but what shall we replace it with? And can we preserve the
API contrib/uuid-ossp offers? (Maybe we shouldn't even try, but
just deprecate that module and start fresh.)
Would it be welcomed in this community if a patch for built-in UUID
generation functions are provided? (I'm not saying I can provide them
soon.) According to the following page, Linux has libuuid.so. Microsoft
provides UuidCreate() as a Win32 API. I don't know about other UNIXes.
MySQL, Oracle (and perhaps other DBMSs) offer UUID generation functions. I
feel it convenient if I can use that function as the default value for a
column.
