User/Group ID assignment

Are there any guidelines regarding user and group id number assignment
on Fedora?

I'd like to add user/group for daemon, related to installed package, in
order to avoid running it as root. What numbers are already reserved and
where can I find up to date table with that numbers?

I see in my /etc/passwd that regular user accounts are assigned numbers
starting from 1000 (was it 500 on older systems?), 0-200 and 201-999 are
used by system accounts and packages like httpd, wireshark, etc.

I've found this [1] site but it looks outdated and incomplete because it
references FC5 and discussions pointed there are from 2005.
