+1 for finding interested contacts in other distros and just submit a
request to the LSB to have the static range expanded

You have to realise static UID scarcity is a big reason UIDs vary from
distro to distro - given UID shortage each distro priorises the
packages it cares most about and as a result the attribution choices
vary.

With a non-scarce range new UIDs and (and later historical UIDs) could
just nicely converge.
