[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

It may be useful to see what Nix does.

Nix has many static id, with the comment:

# IMPORTANT!
# We only add static uids and gids for services where it is not feasible
# to change uids/gids on service start, in example a service with a lot of
# files. Please also check if the service is applicable for systemd's
