What is your request or suggestion?

Today we can set a specific uid/gid in the image config, however most of the time people just want to tell it to use a non-root user.
Distros typically have a standard uid/gid they use for a "nobody" user.
If we add a boolean to the image config that users can specify their intent is just for a non-root user the backing implementation can choose an appropriate uid/gid to use.

Are you willing to submit PRs to contribute to this feature request?
