Crates.io "first-come, first-served" for plain crate names - why and how should it be changed?

I suggest a crate identifier be a random ID, something like ION/DID https://blog.ipfs.tech/ion-a-path-to-decentralized-identity/. AFAICT the name used by people has no requirement to be unique, it's just a search term in normal usage.
