This is like seeing a brick wall 40 miles down a straight road and yet still managing to drive into it, and then blaming the wall.

I guess that whoever maintains that infra simply hadn't thought of it or was not aware. It's not something you get for free in a monitoring system with some agent like disk usage for example. You need to know and remember you have a hard limit on IDs and be aware at which ID you are.

Meanwhile if I keep reminding people where the wall is and how fast we are approaching it I’m considered “negative”. That”s the real reason this stuff happens. If someone noticed, the got tired of harping on it and without the constant barrage everyone else immediately let it go out of sight, out of mind.

In a company, totally. But here it is a volunteer effort, I doubt it had happened.
