It's stated as workaround. A fix/patch is added to the bugtracker of 
according issue.

well, this is not FLOW3 and we're more or less bound to the v4 world, 
and there the uid is the identifier for anything. I know that a 
dedicated identifier field might be better in domain terms, also in 
order for dealing with objects created from other data sources that 
might use different identifiers, but adding support for those might 
become a bit of a work I fear (how to validate a correct identifier for 
a specific model and prevent XSS etc). Also currently I don't see a 
urgent need for this, as you already can work with custom identifiers, 
but need to make use of those yourself.

My personal POV is to leave that out from extbase and only make it a 
Flow3 feature.
