The fallback, e.g. the default operation, be it either useradd -r or
something I don't understand yet, certainly is not predictable. I
guess that less than 1 permille of Fedora users even know that there
is such a system to configure, and even less do configure it, so we
can really assume that all packages using this method don't really
need predictable uid/gids ...

Which rather proves that it is useless. You either have the default
unpredictable behaviour, or you need to configure global resources *per
host* or *per site*.
The default behaviour which accounts for 99.99% of all users is that
people don't even know there is something to configure. And I probably
made a very conservative guess.
