It doesn't seem to me that this is an issue worth spending huge cycles on _right now_ so I'll suggest going with the inclusion of TimeStamp which appears to be a reasonably small and innocuous class.

Okay, after poking around with 5150UUID-fix and Time and TimeStamp, it looks like we can remove the dependency on TimeStamp (as Tim suggested) and keep the same behavior by simply replacing "TimeStamp current asSeconds" with "Time totalSeconds" in UUIDGenerator>>makeSeed. So, we should probably just do that.
I'd have to agree with Doug here, for two reasons:
If Time totalSeconds is considered to be an adequate value for this purpose then most definitely let's do it that way.
