The latter: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1436. The reason for the separate source file was to make the %sysusers_create_compat macro work. The new solution in rpm is _much_ nicer and works just fine with either a separate source file or creation in %prep and also a file in the upstream tarball. In my patches, I used the inline creation because the definitions often used macros. In the long term, maintainers could just push those files upstream and we can drop our creation again.
