yes, i’d totally prefer that over the current, (seemingly) monotone increasing number; I mean, if the biggest kind number i ever saw is 63, how should i know if someone else is already working on a NIP with a kind 64 or if i can use it in mine?

Just query all relays for the event you want: crawler.amethyst.social

This is on purpose. You HAVE to know what others are doing otherwise your own apps are in danger.

Commenting so I can share this knowledge with the plebs in future educational sessions

Bizarre bullshit. A correct random number generator will produce IDs that no one uses, with certainty.

Who cares? Picking a unique number is not hard.
