Aside from giving more room for system IDs, this had the side effect of hiding IDs from 500 to 999 that were created by older Fedora releases from the GDM logon panel. User IDs had to be moved above 999 to be visible again. It was a bit of a painful transition. Does this mean the system headers were not updated to match?
