I'd prefer to use the type 4 UUID (random). Any thoughts about supporting this? I should have mentioned in the other issue that I'm happy to code up a solution for either of these if they don't fit in your roadmap.

v4 UUIDs isnt secure as v1 and should be only used in partial solutions (Like a table where you are going to have a compound id, for example, a timeline (user_id + timeline_uuid).

Have you tried SecureRandom.uuid?
