If I recall, if you remove an id, a new one will be created. However, 
sometimes an id is used to refer to other things in the data structure 
so you have to be careful (Again, going from memory here.  Test early 
and often).

This can get incredibly complex due to dependencies between entities.  
But if you keep it simple enough the current import facilities can suffice.

The best answer I can give is that it just depends on what you are 
trying to do.
