I don't think so. Either way, the actual implementation is going to be a call to systemd-sysusers. But the rpm-internal approach is quite different in how the call is constructed from the macro-based approach, so the failure modes are likely to be different. If were to switch to the macro-based approach temporarily, we'd create quite a lot of churn and _different_ failure modes. So I think that if we're switching to sysusers as the implementation, we should go for the intended final approach immediately.
