The other problem addressed by fedora-usermngt is that we'll also
eventually run out of fixed 100-499 id's as well.

Again, news to me. How is it problematic? My perception of this
discussion is that it's mostly FUD, in not understanding the *real*
fundamental issues fedora-usermngt addresses, and inventing theoretical
problems that it may cause.
Regardless, imo, this is a *fedora* issue, and should be addressed
globally, not here in epel-only space.
