why do you thing gentoo is everyone's first or only dist on their
network?

or even on any given box?

forcing existing boxen to change just because a new dist is added
is also unacceptable.

for me though, it would be enough if there is something i can add to
make.conf to ensure that the acct-user and acct-group builds avoid the
ranges i already use.

that may also work for others.
