Stack IDs are an anomaly in the otherwise-consist use of IDs throughout 
LiveCode.  Unlike other objects, the stack ID is merely a placeholder 
for the next available ID for newly created objects, and as such it'll 
change over time as you noted.

In LiveCode stack names are required to be unique within a session, so 
those can be used for distinguishing them from other open stacks.
