uuidv6 was mentioned in a ULID issue (linked today from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18768909)

Thanks for the suggestion @mitchtbaum!

Without being standardized I think it's a bit out-of-scope for uuid to support this one and call it v6, but since you can construct a uuid out of arbitrary bits you could support this yourself externally for the time being.

If it does make its way to standardisation then we'll definitely support it :+1:

For now I am closing this. If ever in the future a v6 uuid is formalized, a relevant issue will be opened.

Sorry for waking a sleeping dragon. I have a function to convert any UUIDv1 into a v6 one. Maybe it'll help someone.
