The fixed id is in the package itself (without the offset), which is why I fail to see any reason to add a dependency on some custom user management scripts when plain useradd/groupadd is sufficient. There are two mixed discussions here : - Should we rely on fedora-usermgmt from fedora.us to manage system users? - Should some system users have fixed uid/gid pairs? Those are two completely separate debates, to which I personally answer "no" and "yes" respectively.
