It depends on the use case. E.g. 'ntp' does not need fixed uids in standard installations. But enhancing it and putting it into a chroot might change situation. Whether you assign predictable uids for all or only the really required services does not make a difference for fedora-usermgmt. The suggested window size of perhaps 500-1000 free users will cope with both. Wrapper script can be modified to translate the hint into non-continous areas too (e.g. hint 0-300 -> window 63000-66000, 301-2000 -> window 40000-41699) > But for whatever its worth let's raise > the fixed/non-fixed cross-over from uid/gid 100 to 200 for F8 or F9. I suggest 500-999; should not break LSB more than the 100-200 idea. But reuid'ing normal users is much easier than doing this for services.
