Also, I think we should discuss UUID v8. UUID version 8 provides an RFC-compatible format for experimental or vendor-specific use cases. Revision 1 of IETF draft contained interesting code for v8: almost similar to v7, but with fields for "node ID" and "rolling sequence number". I think this is reasonable approach, thus I attach implementation of UUID v8 per [0].
I suggest we keep this thread to v7, which has pretty straightforward semantics for PostgreSQL. v8 by definition has many possible implementations, so you're going to have to make pretty strong arguments that yours is the best and only one, if you are going to claim the gen_uuid_v8 function name.
