I don’t understand this thinking. If you understand what’s at play, you can infer the potential security implications. What you’re advocating for is being entirely reactive instead of also being proactive.

No, I don’t. Even with a timestamp uuids are not enumerable, and honestly I don’t care that the timestamp they were created at is public. Is the version of uuid used being a part of the uuid considered a leak too?
