My report should make it obvious that it is not well known, at least
not to me, and I would also say the documented behaviour is not
following the principle of least surprise.  I was very surprised to
discover that an existing user showed up in ps with the uid and not
the username, and started to suspect something wrong with NSS.

I would say the behaviour of ps is bad, and should be changed, not
just documented.

Happy hacking,
