i am using dgraph from past 10 months, i recently upgraded to the latest version.  
in the earlier version if we don’t specify the uid predicate in the query with expand(\_all\_) , it was not included the response.  
something like  
{  
abc(func: type(ABC)) {  
expand(\_all\_)  
uid  
}  
}  
and i used this  
{  
abc(func: type(ABC)) {  
expand(\_all\_)  
}  
}  
for a feature in our project. Now in the latest release expand(\_all\_) is including the uid as well in the response which is breaking the functionality in the project.  
is there any way to exclude uid from json response when using expand(\_all\_) ?
