I was wondering about the case of users and groups in scriptlets. Something I would like to investigate next time I dedicate free time to Fedora is conditional and one-shot services with systemd. Maybe some of that complexity could move from the package manager to the service manager. For the use case I have in mind it's definitely the service that wants the user and group, because none of the installed files need them. It's only a runtime requirement for the service.
