We’ve preserved the capitalization of `q1$21f31f42-4f4d-79b0-0380-92039776e884` for a long time, for example (notice how the entity ID is in lowercase). Maybe I'm exaggerating by calling them "volatile". I mean `Q1#P1` has semantics, it's always the statement group using property `P1` on `Q1`, no matter how many times `P1` statements are removed, added, reordered or merged. But individual statement IDs aren't useful to see the property they're using (or value, references, qualifiers, rank, etc.) and they're lost when you need to sort the statements, or when a statement is removed and someone adds the removed data manually, or when `Q1` is merged into `Q2` (while the semantics of `Q1#P1` are preserved and redirect to `Q2#P1`).
