I was specifically asking about Gentoo infra there. |

UIDs in the range SYS_UID_MIN..SYS_UID_MAX (i.e. 101..999) were always |
| 24 |
used for dynamic allocation of system accounts. GLEP 81 hasn't really |
| 25 |
changed anything there, except that the ebuild will now suggest an ID to |
| 26 |
try first. |
