Because I've had this system running since F8 and have three different 
users right now.  Keeping the numbers the way they are is much simpler 
than trying to get all three of them changed over.  You do understand 
the KISS principle, don't you?

Of course it isn't, which is why I'd never, under any circumstances 
consider installing from a LiveCD.  Back when I didn't have a DVD drive, 
I'd get all six CDs and burn them just so that I could properly 
customize my installs or have everything available for an upgrade.
