Thanks Arnold, Yes. Well it makes sense that many of those issues are way beyond my expertise. 128 bit uuid addresses security issues IMO. I'll leave it to you and those with better grasp of the whole picture from here . . .
Being burnt 🔥 multiple times using hardware references in the hatch to "protect" things going back to MD5 circa 2000 and the most recent event 2023, I know the taste of unpleasant outcomes, even if the ability to fully understand the Arch impacts and constraints needed for final decisions are out of my zone . . . you would need to type REALLY REALLY SLOW for me to "get it" 😉. Regardless, EVERYTHING we touch, refactor, add, subtract, we *should attempt* lowering the implementation time and load factor. Thanks for the explanations and conversation Paul
