room IDs are opaque identifiers that happen to encode one homeserver for no real good reason
well, so the server that created it can guarantee global uniqueness

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilybecause 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?03:35:26
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyseems like you'd run into cryptography problems in such a setting anyway03:36:10

rather stuff like a malicious entity claiming they created a (different) room with that id, I think

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI 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
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilymy understanding was that there was work on getting the homeserver out of room IDs, though?03:39:01
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily(and out of user IDs but I think that stalled)03:39:06
