As always, it depends. As long as you don't run NFS or any other service
that requires consistent UIDs over several servers, this makes sense.
If, on the other hand, you do require consistent UIDs over several
servers I suggest reserving an id space for chef-managed users and a
separate id space for manually managed users.
