9 Good, but can we make these ranges more explicit please, like 100..499
10 for "high" and 0..99 for "low"? (But 100 is special too, I guess?)

15 I'd say something like this:
16
17 "b. UIDs/GIDs in the 'high' range can be taken arbitrarily and are
18 assigned on a FCFS basis. IDs used upstream or by other distros can
19 serve as a loose guideline. Otherwise, taking the highest free number
20 in the range is recommended."
