because people usually migrate their whole systems from one hardware
to the next and if you have a lot of users and existing files
with permissions it is unuseable to have "freddy" 3 times with
uid 500 and 1 time with uid 1000

migrate whole system = dd the disk to the next hardware
migrate whole system = install F9 and stay currently with F15

did you ever work in an environment with a lot of servers and
users and used rsync / nfs?
