Comment (by jadpm):

 Hi there

 I am the team leader for Toolset, and we are also affected by the change
 here, just adding our own use case here if someone is interested.

 We do use the `#postbox-container-2` ID for several items. We have some
 objects that we edit in the post legacy editor, but that require some
 wizard steps when created, and we manpulate the edit page look&feel by
 hooking into existing HTML structures. That I is one that we do use and
 rely on. We can change it to be a classname, no problem there, but I tend
 to believe that we are aproachign the problem wrong.

 My 2c on the issue: we have several `#postbox-container-X` IDs for some
 containers. Because, as stated above, they used to idenitfy draggable
 elements. If we have a repetition on IDs then we should probably target
 that repetition, check why we have it, and eventually solve it by avoiding
 the repeated items (something like a `#postbox-container-2-X` ID for
 recurring items?).
