David Busby, They seem to indirectly recommend that the UIDs/GIDs stay below 60000. They do this by setting this in /etc/login.defs. Since most programs use useradd, this effectively limits it to that. Of course it can be manually overidden by either passing useradd a higher UID or by changing the setting.
The kernel, IIRC, supports 32 bit UIDs/GIDs. At least on IA32. This doesn't mean that it will let you go above the old 16 bit UIDs though because some file systems (ext2/3 for example) don't support it. There may be other userland programs/daemons that won't either. I know NFS can start having issues when you start getting up there with the UIDs.
