After checking with the community via Twitter (here: https://twitter.com/antirez/status/915130876861788161) the verdict was to use ":". However I later realized, after users lamented the fact that it's hard to copy IDs just with double click, that this was the reason why I moved to "." in the first instance. Fortunately "-", that was the other option with most votes, also gets selected with double click on most terminal applications on Linux and MacOS. So my reasoning was: 1) We can't retain "." because it's actually confusing to newcomers, it looks like a floating number, people may be tricked into thinking they can order IDs numerically as floats. 2) Moving to a double-click-to-select format is much better. People will work with such IDs for long time when coding / debugging. Why making now a choice that will impact this for the next years? The only other viable option was "-", and that's what I did. Thanks.
