Any chance of going to 8.3?

But 8.3 still does not generate UUIDs, only stores/compares them. From the link above:

PostgreSQL provides storage and comparison functions for UUIDs, but the core database does not include any function for generating UUIDs, because no single algorithm is well suited for every application.

For reasons mentioned by the other poster, it would be helpful if PostgreSQL could generate them. Is there really more than 2 or 3 needed options where it would be huge code bloat to include sufficient alternatives?
