I'd prefer to keep the format as it was, explicitly labelled hex. The other fields that are printed as unset, -1, come out in the logs as MAX_UINT: "auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295", so I don't see any reason to change that convention. Once that field is known by userspace tools, they can interpret (-i) that as -1.
