Yes that is precisely what Jeremy proposed.

No, I think you misunderstood Jeremy. If I got him
right, Jeremy proposed to have a fixed, hardcoded
internal mapping table for the wellknowns which is
not subject to idmap config, and rather prevent samba
from starting if an idmap config overlaps and have the
admin remap her id mappings than offer to change the
wellknown mappings..
