I have some IDs like "o5y98600aze0" which don't conform to that uuidgen format; they were created by early versions of org. Should only UUIDs be accepted as ID? 2. I think the ID should be editable by hand to what you like, as long as they are unique. If you don't need to export it you don't need a CUSTOM_ID, and having both ID and CUSTOM_ID is not the simplest way. So I think that assert is too strict. My short IDs seem as good as the long UUIDs.
