Comment:

 I'd actually like to hear more reasoning on this before we close it.

 I've often wanted to use the guid column as a way to verify uniqueness of
 content rather than just a placeholder for something that gets put into
 RSS feeds. Relying on a guid would be much nicer than doing meta queries
 for some of the stuff I've done in the past.
