Storing uidNumber and gidNumber in GC?

[Elia Pinto]

It is a possibilty. But not the only, if you want to consider to reuse
deleted account uid number. OTOH, if you care to don't never permit
reuse the same uid number - for policy of object reuse and doing what
windows does for the rid allocation scheme - it is necessary to
archive the dropped uid and never permit to reassign them. windows do
something like this for the rid, iirc.
