Comment on Ask HN: Some questions on transitioning to UUID in a large ecosystemparent

Comments

I do not recommend doing that. Instead, you may wish to either use the plain "urn:uuid:" format, or use a different URI scheme (such as "http") with your company's domain name. A company does not normally have only a single UUID; you can make up additional UUIDs as needed. (If you want to avoid collisions, you can use version 1 UUIDs.)
