This proposal would effectively move all existing packages that create users or
groups from useradd/groupadd (called by those %sysuser* macros underneath) to
systemd-sysusers(8).
I wonder if we shouldn't first just move those macros over to systemd-sysusers
to test-drive this utility at a larger scale and catch any potential bugs or
issues before actually proceeding with the remaining steps as outlined in the
email.
That's a lower-risk first step that should be fairly easy to implement right
away, as mentioned in:
