Great change how exactly? Doubling the number count just seems excessive, doesn’t it? Another update we didn’t ask for…?
We need to make changes sometimes to accommodate with back-end migrations to new technologies. Since 99.99% of the time people are copy-pasting badge IDs back-and-forth anyway, the length should be fairly inconsequential, as nobody should be typing these out by hand. Please let us know if we missed a use case there, but judging from the rest of responses from your peers, it should be okay.

Will asset IDs eventually migrate to a Base64 system, similar to how YouTube handles things?
It would help in situations where a game asks a player to supply an image ID (although a proper solution might be better).
Also, here’s a somewhat relevant Tom Scott video.
I don’t think an ideal situation is one where a player is manually typing in asset IDs, that seems like an anti-pattern to me that shouldn’t be further invested into. It’s better if the platform provides you a way to prompt user-friendly ways to list and pick from assets. You’d best post these kind of problems as separate feature requests.
