[Opensim-dev] Proposal to eliminate the name, description and invType fields from the assets db table

[Teravus Ovares]

I'm not convinced the SHA1 UUID will be extensible enough to allow for
future plans.   The idea is to not assume anything with a UUID.  Adding
assumptions increases scalability at the cost of extensibility.

Best Regards
