I have currently changed the naming everywhere from uid to uuid - I am not certain if this is really required.
uuid is more clear as to what it is.
uid is a less breaking change (and is the name k8s uses AFAIK).

I agree - I'm leaning towards leaving things as uid based on your reasoning + so we don't have to bother with deprecation.

This is done now - the change is not only very internal, renaming only the internal functions properly.

I am not aware of any docs which should be changed. None that I could find mention the ID structure. |

resulting from our use of $(uid) with tektoncd/triggers#926. Long pod names work, but usability suffers. In particular with tasks in a pipeline we no longer see the task name in kubectl watch. For Dashboard it's also impractical because the pod name is the headline of the taskrun page. A solution could be based on generateName, like Triggers' PR 939.
Changes
Switches the 5 character random string UIDs to RFC 4122 UUIDs.
Closes: #901
