LDraw has a (in my opinion kinda weird) standard for patterned part numbering. However, sites like Rebrickable and Brickset nowadays scrape a lot of information from Lego itself. This information also includes the design id for patterned parts. Like every brick, every pattern has its own unique design-id.
For example, this part has the design-id 25660 and this part has the design-id 32734.
Would it be a good idea to change the patterned-part numbering of LDraw parts (for future parts obviously, not for current parts) to use the design-id when available?
