I was initially surprised to see Gentoo didn't have written standards |
| 6 |
for UID/GID management, but don't see many other distros having one |
| 7 |
either. Would it be untoward to extend this GLEP to define both |
| 8 |
default ranges and an internal body to hand them out? I, for one, am |
| 9 |
aesthetically uncomfortable with processes like mysql and rpm using |
| 10 |
IDs < 100, but don't have a clean technical argument as to why they |
| 11 |
shouldn't. |

It would also probably be fruitful to have enewgroup/enewuser check |
| 14 |
UID_MIN/GID_MIN instead of hard-coding the 101-999 search it does now. |
