I was wondering, does it even make sense to have the default RNG of uuids::random_generator set to a PseudoRandomNumberGenerator for boost::uuid?
No, in my opinion it doesn't. basic_random_generator has to be retained for compatibility, but random_generator should just obtain random bytes directly. You're right that this is a breaking change though - a justified one, in my opinion.
