If you're not constrained for uid space by old systems that don't support more 
than 32768 uids, move your uid space for all users to >2000. Most (if not all) 
Unix-like OSes that are still supported these days guarantee that uids >1024 
are never used for system accounts, but >2000 gives you a lot of space for that 
to change over time. 

Unfortunately, that implies that you'll need to change a LOT of uids, but it's 
a one-time fix. Others will probably chime in on how to mung the AFS uids.
