Is this new technology since, um, January?  Because I was told as
recently as January that you can't rely on systemd knowing about
UIDs that are defined in LDAP:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=894750#c4

The context there was that any service with tmpfiles.d entries had
better have uid/gid that are known at poweron.  Reliably, not just
most of the time.  I'm uninterested in somebody telling me they'll
cache the values, because *I* get the bug report when it doesn't work.
