I was actually thinking about using the UUID as primary identifier in 
the core and keeping the currently used sequential uid during the 
deprecation phase to keep old code working.

This will of course have quite an impact on all core modules. We need to 
add new TS properties for the UUID and deprecate the current properties, 
etc.

What do you think?
