IDs not in order?

I deleted some members from my list, and now the IDs are all wrong (e.g. 1, 2, 5, 7, 8). What happened?
The member IDs are database IDs in MySQL, and MySQL gives out IDs that are truly unique. This means that each ID will only be given out once and cannot be re-used, even after a member has been deleted. You can’t change this without hacking the script.
