Hello,
after initial discussion on the -packaging list (see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2014-02/msg00136.html) and incorporating some of the feedback we would like to introduce the attached openSUSE Enhancement Proposal about creating a safe namspace of system user and group names. Further comments and reviews would be appreciated.

This is a cross distribution problem and I do not think we should just go it alone without at least speaking with other distros. Has anyone contacted Fedora and or Debian to see if we can find a common solution? Coincidentally the LSB working group just had a face to face meeting at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit last week and we decided that after the release of the LSB 5.0 specification we (the LSB work group) want to shift our focus and become the place where distributions can discuss such problems and come to an agreement for Linux as a platform rather than every distro implementing their own solution.
