In the absence of option 3 (static UID/GID), I think option 2 (not removing the
user/group) is much better. It may be "messy" in terms of leaving accounts on
systems but IMHO this is not as "messy" as leaving unowned files on those
systems (which would happen if the user/group were deleted).

There is actually a pseudo-static UID/GID mechanism available in Fedora
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserCreation) but use of it is contentious
to say the least and the possibility of expanding the static uid/gid range
beyond the current 0-100 was favourably received when the latest flamewar on
this subject erupted recently (see
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00647.html and
the "discussion" on fedora-maintainers linked from there).
