Almost every site I've been to in the last 3 years could do with a
massive overhaul including changing uids.  Your attitude only adds to
the work that such an overhaul entails.  That's why its such a big
deal.

Other programs can be easily reconfigured with find, grep, and sed.
Qmail has to be recompiled and reinstalled, a waste of skilled time.
Such time isn't free, or even cheap.
