I remember some discussion about it (pre Ra time) and then the conclusion
was it should be a separate tool/package, not required by anything in pure
PLD. As no PLD-based system does require such a tool...

I think it can be a tool that compares passwd/group with our uid/gid
database and changes (or not if admin decided so). It should be a smart
tool, changing also permisions on filesystems (so change sequence would be
VERY important), resolve conflicts, etc.

groupadd -g 1000 grp1000
