Hi Fabien,
So far no actual plan exists for this so this is my opinion.
+ The choice of uid/gid is completly your own, it makes no
difference to the middleware (excluding glite i/o) what
you choose.
+ I think as soon as you deviate from the default path including
adding VOs then I think it is up to you avoid clashes and
so if some new VO came along which clashed you would have
to adjust things accordignly.
+ The new scripted install (yais?) contains a module for adding users.
If you choose to use it then choosing your own uid/gid is still
possible.
