Question on UUIDUtil class

[kernelpanic]

Why is the constructor private? I'd like to extend this class in my
own codebase. Would it be possible to release a new build with the
constructor public instead?

Utility classes are typically static and not instantiated. What is
your use case? (i.e. what are you trying to do)

Well, there's always the case where you don't want imports of external dependencies in some projects.  For my specific case though, I have my own util class, and I found it to be easier to simply extend to get access, than to create an internal instance and proxy the methods I need.

Ok. I am not really set against this; the easiest way to get it done
would probably be just forking at github, sending merge request?
Main reason being that right now I am very time crunched, but it's
easier to find time for quick sanity checking and pushing "accept
merge" than doing anything pro-active :-)

It's up on github.

Thanks,

Just merged it, thanks! I should go through other issues there too...
things have been bit busy with other projects :)

No worries, I know exactly what you mean!

On plus side, I went ahead and closed couple of other accumulated
issues, so 3.1.3 is now out. :)
