Personally I have it precisely the other way around - I find the
static allocations rather annoying since they are bound to collide
with existing UID's at some point.
IMO the optimal solution would be to have some magic which auto
assigns ports/system UID/GID's from different ranges that normal
users.
That said, I don't care enough to actually work on implementing it,
but just don't think that everybody agrees that static UID/GID
numbering is a good thing.
