it is not blocking in a hard way.
But if you have it installed you deinstall it and reinstall it again,
you maybe get permission problems, because the UID/GID for the gogs user
can change.
This could break in bad case the update process and the user has to
manually correct the UID/GUID of the repository stored on the system.

I think it is better to have a fixed UID/GUID for this really nice tool.

Or is that not correct?
