Okay this whole line of thought is total crackrock. Why do we need to make value judgements over what packages deserve a fixed ID, and what doesn't? If we're going to do fixed IDs at all, there's *no* reason we can't do it for all packages. We run out of space in the 0-499 range once there's 500 system users either way. This might be better as Wiki discussion so that it can be properly structured. There's way too many different issues being mixed up here.
