Hi,
I went through the thread and there are good points that I was not aware of. But libuser is now pulled into every installation and considering the state of the library (not being developed) I still think we should do something about it. The benefit is small for tools like passwd.
The passwd utility has a compile time option for libuser (as well as other dependent packages with one exception where it can be fixed with small effort). So we can keep the current passwd utility for time being until the one from shadow util is ready and SELinux adjusted.
Some use cases (like puppet) justify the effort for keeping libuser available in EPEL.

Agreed. Have you tried opening an issue upstream and/or in RHEL
bugzilla?
