Correction we start at 1Million and we get a 100k range randomly within
the 1M-2B range, so almost 10k different possible buckets.

The chance 2 installations end up getting the same bucket are very low.

owever you can always force the UID to be used at user creation by
explicitly specifying the IDs you want.

Simo.
