The init system is patched to kill processes owned by UID >=1000 (it
used to be 100).

New Users start at 1000. I suggest we set:

0 - 499 System Packages
500 - 999 Local Administration
1000 - .... Users

And then we can expect the system and local administrator to be
responsible for killing their own created processes.
