Sorry, I claim firsts on this. Your response to me at the time was “as long as you don’t complain if there’s a collision, go ahead”.

I never really followed through, but perhaps I should

I’m still waiting for someone to insist on a particular “vanity UUID.”

Wait no longer:

github.com

JuliaRegistries/General/blob/master/R/REPLTreeViews/Package.toml

name = "REPLTreeViews"
uuid = "00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444"
repo = "https://github.com/pfitzseb/REPLTreeViews.jl.git"

That’s not a UUID.

It obviously doesn’t conform to version 1, version 2, or versions 3 and 5. You could argue that it’s a version 4, but besides not actually being generated by any randomness, I’m guessing it doesn’t mark itself properly as a version 4 ID.

Just a FYI, there is an open PR (https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/16058) that proposes some changes to the policies and documentation of the General registry.
