I guess Peter was talking about this 0-200 static ID reservation threshold change - and it happened in Fedora 12 (setup-2.8.7-1.fc12) with no reported complaints or conflicts so far. Yes, static assignments are limited resource and it probably makes sense to increase it even a bit further , however - in ~2 years since the change of the threshold to 200, 15 static new uid's were assigned. So if the trend will continue, there is enough free id's for reservation for ~5-10 years - so the threshold at 200 seems to be enough atm (especially if the dynamically assigned system id's assignments are going from the highest limit down).
