Hi,

This change was requested by the maintainer of elfutils (CC'ed):

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2021q4/004387.html

I've sent a similar change for binutils' readelf:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-November/118584.html

We'll be using this ID through various projects, so IMHO it would be
useful to document it, yes.

no we do not AFAIK.
