Ok, I would like to reserve 237/237 for rspamd in that case, it is next
available.

Btw, I am just curios about the situation when there is a foo overlay
with acct-{user,group}/foo using UID/GID already set in main gentoo
overlay and later on we would like to move it to the main gentoo
overlay. It would be necessary to chose different UID/GID for
acct-{user,group}/foo.  So, my question is, would it be technically
feasible to do the migration for users of the foo overlay?  I can
imagine this scenario will occur once in the future and it is UID/GID
change.

Thanks,
