Hi Philipp, Thank you for sending the patch! Technically the patch looks fine, but after thinking about it, I'm -1 on committing this. The UID isn't exposed in any other way, and generally isn't interesting to users. If we expose it in the index_format it opens up questions of limiting, sorting, etc. As always, I'd appreciate comments from the other devs on this. -- Kevin J.
