I don't want to use UUID because as you said they are too big.
The useful of this kind of sequence (only number) is to not have a leak of
information. Like the number of generated document or if there is a hole
between two documents etc.
How I see the functionnality:
- adding a selection field on ir.sequence with ('ordered', 'random')
- hide number_next, number_increment and padding if random is selected
- add and show random_size
So user could choose between ordered or random sequence for document.
But for now, the main issue is the generation.
