This is like saying "just pay your taxes and the IRS won't bother
you". Getting from the variety of inconsistent uid/gid environments
common to most previously unmanaged NFS managed to a consistent
uid/gid deployment across a wide variety of environments which were
previously managed in disparate AD or Samba environments is often
quite painful.
