We could be wiser and reserver all the uid beetwen/including 101 and 999
to users.
In fact it is not unusual to have systems with something like 800 users or
so.

If we start from 500 it could be too little. 
yes we could go on and use 1001 1002 ... for users

but it is too inelegant, and uid above 1000 could be reserved for NIS.
