not possible; accordingly FHS, these ranges are available for free use
and must not be assigned statically. They might be already in use in
existing systems, and a static assignment in future FE packages WILL
create conflicts.

The fact is, that you will not find a free range for new static uid. The
only possible range for static uids is 0-99 which is reserved for Core
already.

I am in doubt that we will stay below 100 users...
