DCE was a legacy-style Proper Goddamn Specification, written by the consortium that had since become The Open Group, who also run POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification and all that jazz (?? when the posix is sus !), but that sort of doorstopper spec was overkill for the humble UUID. what it needed, as a piece of computer bullshit, was an RFC. and so in 2005 the UUID was defined again in [RFC 4122](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122), which kept v1, reduced v2 to one sentence, and added some new versions.
