    BSD has historically had a toor account. A person who installs
    FreeBSD from a CD created after toor removal will not have a
    toor account. How does mergemaster restore a historical
    toor account?

    This is a really dumb bikeshed. toor is 1 uid out of
    a rather large number of possible uid's.
