1 gentoo definitely should not permit fixed use for installed packages in
2 the 500-600 range.
3
4 500+ was for many, many years the start for users, and forcing anyone to
5 change decades-long use of particular uids or gods is not acceptable.
6
7 really all of 101-499,701-999,60000-{nobody--} should be dynamic.
8
9 and 500-700 never touched by the distribution.
