The Monero Foundation recently announced for the phasing out long payment IDs this year. Citing the lack of privacy and a source of negative user experience, the foundation requested users to upgrade those to either integrated addresses or sub-addresses. Further, there has been some discussion among the development team for the phasing out integrated addresses as well. In that case, one should upgrade to sub-addresses directly to avoid additional work.
