[openstack-dev] [ALL] Removing generate_uuid() from uuidutils

Hi all,

We had a discussion of the modules that are incubated in Oslo.

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/icehouse-oslo-status

One of the conclusions we came to was to deprecate/remove uuidutils in this
cycle.

The first step into this change should be to remove generate_uuid() from
uuidutils.

The reason is that 1) generating the UUID string seems trivial enough to
not need a function and 2) string representation of uuid4 is not what we
want in all projects.

To address this, a patch is now on gerrit.
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/56152/

Each project should directly use the standard uuid module or implement its
own helper function to generate uuids if this patch gets in.

Any thoughts on this change? Thanks.
