Here is mho: I understand why you complain about the `rand()`. But a random number is much more useful than an sequential number that start with 0 and only increment itself. Before `seqid_` wasn't respected at all and it's used to identify whether the response belongs to my request or not, and not to determine the order of requests and responses. And lastly, the php client initiates the `seqid_` with 0 and so it could happen that two clients communicate with the server at the same time and client A receives the response of client B and doesn't track that issue because accidentally the `seqid_` is that one that client A expect.
