We can only mess with below 500. There are far too many large scale
user deployments relying on putting their existing users to 500
upwards. Breaking this is not an option.

Moving the bar from 100 to 200/anything will already break
applications that randomly were allocated to some uid there, and this
needs to be fixed per package, that's why we need a F8/F9 timeframe
for doing that.
