[Opensim-dev] Thoughts on UUID

[Stefan Andersson]

We should definitively have our own UUID datatype, and work towards confining LLUUID to the ClientStack, for exactly those reasons mentioned.
a heartfelt +1 on that.
 
on a sidenote, we never got any feedback on the 'model' suggestion; I guess we'll just have to add the project and start moving stuff so people can see where it leads us. :D
 
the UUID type (yes, why not just 'UUID' - it's our namespace?) definitively should go into that model namespace.
 
Best,
/Stefan
