Too diverse. Debian has some pre-assigned, but Redhat does not, and
moreover refuses to, because J. Random Redhat sysadmin potentially
could have created his or her own userids <100, and Redhat has an
absolute requirement for any new version of their distribution to be
backwards-compatible. This means no new pre-assigned userids *at all*.
At least that's how it was a couple of years ago, and I don't expect
they've changed that requirement.
