ID property generated by org-mobile

ID property generated by org-mobile

[Randomcoder]

Does the ID property have any use? I know I can disable it, but where
is it being used ?
(the ID property that org-mobile generates for each heading)

Are there any drawbacks to just disabling it
with (setq org-mobile-force-id-on-agenda-items nil) ?

Is it being used somewhere in particular ?

i think it might be used for syncing purposes, to uniquely 
identify items that need to be added, removed etc.

I also think it serves that purpose. Though, I'm quite sure Orgzly does
not rely on such ID; how does it do, then?
