If I started new system today, I would do it.

But having servers with tens of millions of files, and each file has 
ACLs with numerical uids and guids - the risk of changing it is simply 
too big, and I see no real benefit. And even if I did the task to change 
the uids and guids to the higher range, there are still backups. And it 
would mean that restoring backups also involves changing uids and guids.

So if it all works today without problems - I prefer to be a dinosaur ;) 
(and please don't respond that the dinosaurs are not here anymore ;);)
