My gut is to use the 'replace' patch. I'm not comfortable with the 21 byte scenario.
I agree that 21 bytes is likely to be a pain to maintain long term.
If we need a UUID schema version, we can always use a new MINOR_VERSION.
This sounds like a plan. For the time being I am using the first 11 bytes of message MD5 sums on my Cyrus 2.3 systems, just like Fastmail.
It would be useful to have a migration route to full 20 byte SHA1 UUIDs. Zero padding existing schema 1 and schema 2 UUIDs is probably good enough.
