Hello,
In general I don't mind auto-allocation - it's somehow best for (PC)

I'm not sure if the same applies to embedded systems and OSes like LEDE

Is there any convention on the use of uid and gid when creating new
users or groups? Can someone point me to it, if it exists?
I noticed that two packages, icecast and postfix, compete for the same uid=87:
icecast's Makefile:
USERID:=icecast=87:icecast=87
postfix's postfix.init:
user_exists
