I agree with you except for the security part.. If the security of a
system depends on how hard the user id is to guess than you have
greater issues. Someone can guess Ids all they want, we have sufficient
security measures to make sure that users see only what they have
explicit access to. Any hacker would be able to figure out the Id from
looking at the code anyway. Like I said, the use of that Id only
happens in 1% of the situations but is useful sometimes.
