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

My feeling is that "name" should be deprecated and a random unique "id" replace it. At the same time add a "short_descriptor" (X characters long) which initially would default to the current "name" value. As time passes crates would update/add the short_descriptor field to some better than the old "name".
