because if you were just relying on 128 bits of good old-fashioned entropy you could have two starved VMs that accidentally create the same room? rather stuff like a malicious entity claiming they created a (different) room with that id, I think | 03:38:06 |
 emily | I guess I don't understand the protocol well enough to grok the threat model. (I don't really know how room creation works at all) | 03:38:49 |
| emily | my understanding was that there was work on getting the homeserver out of room IDs, though? | 03:39:01 |
| emily | (and out of user IDs but I think that stalled) | 03:39:06 |

my understanding was that there was work on getting the homeserver out of room IDs, though? I'm not sure? They were removed from event id's because they were no longer needed there | 03:42:43 |
 @emma:rory.gay | no, the room id is a hash of the create event iirc | 04:25:49 |
