This is an excellent point. The most important thing to remember is that when all duplicates have been resolved, a given individual can have only one RIN. The renumbering that I recommended was not on the master file but on the collaborator files as they are combined back into the master and before the IntelliMerge process is executed. If the collaborator has not added any new records to his copy of the file, then the Intellishare values will match up and automatically merge all records in his copy with the master and no new RINs will remain. If he has added new records, and therefore new Intellishare values, those RINs will remain at the bottom of the Name List and be easy to spot and use for any further work.
I would not renumber the master file without some major consideration to web sites, etc. as Ron Ferguson has suggested.
