I see the difference now between 4.18.0 and 5.0.0 kernels, the closest
I can get with readily compiled kernels on my distro. According to
`iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -j LOG --log-uid` on kernel 4.18 outer
packets have UID=0 if original packets were sent from system processes
and do not have associated UID at all if original packets were sent by
the user. On kernel 5.0 they always inherit UID.
