Hi,

Well I think there shouldn't be anything broken if you would remove it, 
as we do reference everything by name everywhere.
The reason for hard-coding it is that we have it on fedora and RHEL in 
the setup package See: 
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/uidgid
It's something like a well-known UID/GID when specified there.
