I understand the user experience improvement for having a package for UUIDs in core; I'd like that myself. I just want to know why we haven't discussed the existing UUID package and made a new one.
I agree here, why a new extension ? And I also think using system libuuid is better than reinventing the wheel, and having to maintain a uuid algo, when already maintained by someone else, which only work on these algo.
What about Windows support?
in times of virtualization and containers i personally would go so far and question the need for support windows native at all which would lead to a much smaller and cleaner codebase and less maintainance overhead (not only for PHP)
