I think --use-rfc2307 should be default on provisioning. It does not
hurt and brings no disadvantages if not used. But samba-tool could use
it, like ADUC, to automatically get the next free UID/GID. And it would
be ADUC compatible.

I had created a feature request for that:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10619

Can you open a enhancement request in bugzilla for that, please?
