Given that, I don't see much advantage for 99% of sites to using 64- bit unique IDs over 32-bit. It wouldn't break anything I suppose, but how many Drupal sites have the multiple millions of nodes required to run out of the 32-bit space? I can't actually think of any.
32 bit allow for more than 4 billion unique IDs. If any site goes over it, they can easily change their columns (or rethink their data model). Konstantin
