It is not a "blind adherence" but an adherence that existing systems
should not be broken. You can not use range 100-499 for static uids
because existing systems are having already uids in this range.

It was a wrong/shortsighted decision to reserve only 0-100 for static
uids. But this decision can not be corrected anymore because there is no
other room for static uids.
