There is no requirement to register or assign a fixed UID. Doing so only makes
sense for applications that may share data over NFS or a similar arrangement
that uses the same UIDs on multiple machines.

There are many packages in Extras that create users but do not assign fixed UIDs
(or attempt to do so using fedora-usermgmt).

I don't think reusing a different UID (did you mean "daemon"?) is a good idea
though.

Can't say more without looking at the spec, and mmcgrath.net is unreachable from
here at the moment.
