Will cuid length always be 25?

Declared fixed length of cuid (eg 32 characters) will be greatly improve database performance, because storing and operating with cells, having fixed length (eg Char(32)), in database files, is much easier and quicker, than variable (VarChar(32)).

This standard is a decade old. We probably shouldn't go making changes that could break people's apps unless we have a really compelling reason to.

Hi, does it mean it will vary in [21, 25], [23, 27], [25, 29] or [21, 29] ?

Hi,

I'm not sure of the answer off the time of my head, but it shouldn't be possible for the length to vary more than 4 chars.
