Just want to sneak in the following here:

One prominent "user" of CMFUid is CMFEditions which in turn
underlys Plone's content versioning support. As long as that
continues to work you're probably on the safe side. I myself
have no clue how closely they are coupled but I recall that
CMFUid was factored out from CMFEditions as people realized
it might be of more general use but also to allow for easy
replacement of this component.
