I remember having a discussion about this with Jeremy several months ago, and istr him liking the idea of us creeping into at least the 101-499 space for the hard-coded uidgid list, but that someone needed to actively push this. One thing that needs clarification is the (iirc) LSB, with respect to what 101-499 can be used for. We'd like to maintain LSB compliance, but the guidelines were a bit hazy in this area, so perhaps pushing the LSB to clarify how that uid space should be used is the first step to deep-sixing the atrocity that is fedora-usermgmt (hey, I'm that guy too). -- Jarod Wilson jwilson redhat com
