No, that won't do.  The principal reason why we keep the explicit SYSID
option around at all is so that a DBA can deliberately recreate a user
with the same SYSID he had before, in case the user is dropped by
mistake leaving objects or permissions behind.  So we can't just forbid
conflicts completely.
