Without reading whole thread and participating in yet another flame war
(I reply only because I was in a CC): the 300 baseuid is a bad value but
one of the best what I can use as a default.

When you want to use fedora-usermgmt, pick an empty UID range and
reserve it for system users.  Here, it is the 63000-65000 range but
this will probably vary on your system.  Then, put this number into
/etc/fedora/usermgmt/base[ug]id and activate whole stuff by

  /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --set fedora-usermgmt /etc/fedora/usermgmt/scripts.shadow-utils

and install your packages.  I described in some other threads how to do this
stuff in early initializiation phases (kickstart); basically it was the
creation of a new package which provides 'flavor(fedora-usermgmt-setup)'.
