I have compiled the list of UID and GIDs less than or equal to 2000.

Short answer:
We lose as far as UIDs go, we lose slightly less as far as GIDs go.   
That's not to say we shouldn't do something, since this problem isn't  
going to go away, but...

Raw data is in /mit/jdreed/release-team, acl'd to release-team and  
debathena-dev
- users-affected contains uid, username, real name, and class
- groups-affected contains gid, group name, "NFS" or "AFS", and a  
truncated description of the group.
- The output is sorted numerically in the users-by-id and groups-by-id  
files

Details below:

---------UIDs----------
There are 1917 entries in moira with UIDs less than or equal to 2000,  
so the space is pretty full.

Less than or equal to 100:
- 6 users
- 28 SYSTEM
- 2 PROJECT

101 through 200:
- 89 users  (8 DOOMED)
- 5 SYSTEM
- 2 PROJECT

201 through 500:
- 295 users (11 DOOMED)
- 1 PROJECT
- 2 SYSTEM

501 through 1000:
- 487 users (24 DOOMED)
- 7 SYSTEM
- 4 PROJECT

1001 through 2000:
- 983 users (65 DOOMED)
- 5 SYSTEM
- 1 PROJECT

---------GIDs----------
There are 850 groups in moira with GIDs less than or equal to 2000.
469 of them are "user groups" (according to the description, anyway)

NOTE: I included groups which are not currently NFS (Hesiod) groups.   
The raw data indicates whether or not they're NFS or AFS.

Less than or equal to 100:
14 (5 user groups)

101 through 200:
25 (15 user groups)

201 through 500:
124 (45 user groups)

501 through 1000:
240 (92 user groups)

1001 through 2000:
447 (312 user groups)
