But it's not really wasting them, because since past time will never occur again, you will never need to generate an ID based on that time. Technically, NOT constantly generating UUIDs is wasting them since every millisecond that passes sees a billion UUIDs that will never be given the chance to live - and some of those billions per second UUIDs would've even had a twin brother! ;-p
