I'm sure that killes saw your objection, but decided that the benefits of 
the patch outweigh the costs. You can disagree, but he also has the right to 
make this decision. His call for objections does not imply that he has to 
stop if any arise.

This project is a never ending iteration. We'll get this right eventually. 
Most reasonable people will agree that assigning to the same uid as 
anonymous is not a perfect solution. Some rainy day, I'm sure a patch will 
arise which assigns all this content to uid=-1 or something like that and 
we'll begin the process again.
