Does this mean that non-static system UIDs will start being allocated 
from the bottom of the pool again instead of the top?  It seems that in 
the past few years or so the UIDs and GIDs would be allocated from the 
top, starting with 499 and working down.  Is that changing?  Forgive me 
if this was covered earlier in the thread.
