If by "unknown" you mean nameless, that's not what the patch does.
Such a patch would not even have been considered.
I agree that hiding this information in some cases might not be
optimal, but the main problem is that through this the 'groups'
command becomes utterly useless and confused quite a lot of users.
$ groups
users id: cannot find name for group ID 1091323188
1091323188
I touched on a solution to that in the part of my message that you
elided. I admit I was rather confused by what exactly was being
cited as the problem, but this is on I do know about. (I'd actually
love to see some kind of plugin setup so an AFS PAG shower could be
added, but at the same time that seems just a little bit silly/
overblown for simple stuff like id and groups.)
