Reviewboard is just the way we developers prefer.

I suggest to change our UI and logic so that a random number (each KMyMoney XML file already has such a thing. It's stored in the global KVP as kmm-id enclosed in braces) is used and can be overridden by the user (in case s/he wants to use the one generated by another program or another KMyMoney file).
