Again: what was the starting point of the discussion, i.e. the problem? User "wwwrun" vs. "apache" as mentioned in the other thread? Well, that doesn't have much to do with collisions with normal user names, does it?
IMHO user apache is only valid to be used by a program named apache(|2), see other 'bound' names e.g. dnsmasq, vsftp, squid, avahi, lightdm, polkitd, postfix, rtkit, or similar. wwwrun on the other hand, implies all http-deamons, including php-instances, or other programs (e.g. loadbalancer, reverse proxies) dedicated to running a web-presence. "messagebus" is a afford, it should not have passed any simple sanity-check. Either it should be named dbus or _dbus or severely shorted to msgbus or even mbus (my fav is _dbus). No local service account should need more than 6 letters/digits, sorely from lowercase [a-z0-9] anything else gives us as admins or users hell, more likely sooner than later (hello, Murphy!), also, that would allow to start all local service accouts with a underscore (brings it up to 7 digits). See the mess around charsets, encodings, fonts and other 'oh so nice to have' 'features/bugs'.
