Thanks for speaking up as core@.
Can you please outline what the rationale is, and about what other
"system" users it is? Questions I see here are:
* should future imports of this kind keep the original ("_", etc.)
username, to give up consiscency in NetBSD over keep differences with
other systems small?
* should all "system" accounts be renamed to have a leading "_"?
