I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I think Whissi takes issue |
| 8 |
with using the package manager to manage users, period. Not |
| 9 |
specifically with our use of a UID/GID hint. |

I didn't respond to the first thread because I didn't want to pick a |
| 12 |
fight when the correct conclusion (IMO) was already reached. In the |
| 13 |
first thread I see only hypothetical problems raised (and a bunch of |
| 14 |
people who didn't realize the numbers are only a hint). If any of those |
| 15 |
problems are real and solved by allowing ACCT_USER_ID=-1 in ::gentoo, |
| 16 |
you'll have to point them out. |
