It would decouple "name" from "identity as represented in the git merkle tree", thus allowing name changes to occur without affecting hashes and the like. I see no possible reason for UUID changes, as UUIDs (by themself) are not personally identifying. This of course would not allow retroactive splitting/merging of identities, but I feel like permitting that is incompatible with the idea of identities anyhow. > As a side note, other than the "petname system" please also consider > re:claimID from GNUnet: > https://www.gnunet.org/en/reclaim/index.html > https://www.gnunet.org/en/reclaim/motivation.html Sure, I'll take a look kind regards, pinoaffe
