I think it would be nice to have a UID/GID assigned, tinc can setuid to
another user. An own UID and GID are not a hard requirement, but would
be nice for it IMO.

Side question, there are some programs (postfix, dovecot) which are
now included in Slackware. What is supposed to happen with the UID/GID
assignments of those? Eventually we'll run out of UIDs < 1000, we
are already above 400.
