The consensus at the last summit was to move to UUIDs for instance IDs.
The biggest concerns were that a) it breaks the current API (which can be
updated), and it breaks the EC2 API (which can't be updated). I know that there
were some ideas for working around the ec2 issues, but I don't remember them.
I think moving ahead, UUIDs scale way better than locally-generated
sequential integers.
