Hi Jens. Z3 has it own uid facilities. I guess folks could pick this up
through five could they not? Its all moving in that direction in any case.

Well, I have my own opinion about that, but the course of action
depends mostly on those people who are using it. No one seems to,
judged by the complete silence.
Grégoire Weber is the one that coded it and included it.
As I have found, it is only used in one specific situations: If you
create a Favorite pointing to a piece of content, then that piece
gets tagged with a UID, and the UID identifies the content piece for
the Favorite. So you can copy/paste/whatever the content and the
Favorite still knows how to find it.
Given that it's unmaintained, that Plone has its own UID tool, that
CPS does it differently, I'm for deprecating it quickly and slating it
for removal earlier than the usual 1 year.
Thanks for speaking up, Florent.
+1 from me.
My proposal would be to add deprecation warnings on the 2.0 branch and
trunk and delete it on the trunk as soon as the 2.1 branch has been cut
in a few months.
And yes, three separate tools for this one tiny piece of functionality
is quite odd.
