because people usually migrate their whole systems from one hardware to the next and if you have a lot of users and existing files with permissions it is unuseable to have "freddy" 3 times with uid 500 and 1 time with uid 1000 migrate whole system = dd the disk to the next hardware migrate whole system = install F9 and stay currently with F15 did you ever work in an environment with a lot of servers and users and used rsync / nfs?
