Re: [gentoo-dev] Don't use UIDs and GIDs below 100 without QA approval

gentoo definitely should not permit fixed use for installed packages in the 500-600 range. 500+ was for many, many years the start for users, and forcing anyone to change decades-long use of particular uids or gods is not acceptable. really all of 101-499,701-999,6-{nobody--} should be

[gentoo-dev] Don't use UIDs and GIDs below 100 without QA approval

May I remind everybody that by QA policy allocation of UIDs and GIDs in the range 0..100 needs explicit approval by the QA lead: https://projects.gentoo.org/qa/policy-guide/user-group.html#pg0901 I have fixed the used_free_uidgids.sh script such that it will no longer recommend any IDs below 101.
