"1) we cannot break backward compatibility" - Would it break backward compatibility if the default type remains as integer? Only in required cases would the type be set as uuid.
"2) making id a uuid is not sufficient because you also need to timestamp records" - Sorry, don't understand why that would be necessary. "3) there is a value in having simple ids" - Agreed. That's why I don't propose replacing simple id's in the common case. In certain instances though, it would be great to instruct a table to use uuid's. "I will build an example and post it shortly on a new thread." - That would be great.
