It will be a problem if people get an update to the package using _erlang
and then update again and try to use the same uid for _epmd, but the window
is pretty small, and we are short on available uids, so that's probably the
least worst option.
Ok with me to change it (plist, rc script, db/user.list) and bump
REVISION-main.

_epmd would be a better username.
Is there a way to change that later?
Yea, I already committed with _erlang but I don't see a reason why we
can't change it, unless I'm missing something.
