No one has yet defined the scale but almost all of the real world scenarios people are actually encountering would be handled by either of the offered solutions.
as would be a million things that don’t involve using uuids at all. it literally means nothing to say “this can be handled by centralizing your uuid store”… if you do that, you DON’T NEED UUIDS. THAT IS THE POINT!
You seem to be insisting that UUID meets the promise of it's name, despite the long standing documentation to the contrary. Is that your intention?
