uniqid fill(s|ed) some needs or maybe still fits for some.
However for modern application with many concurrent requests or nodes,
it does not fit anymore, since long. Do we need to fix a broken hammer
to fix the screw? I do not think so.
I suggested already to simply improve it if we can do it without
breaking BC and recommend to use something designed for such tasks,
UUID. ramsey/uuid is one of them, other are available.
Cheers,
