Hi,
I think all the issues wrt. sysusers in systemd and setup have been resolved.

I outlined the migration process last year in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/... but failed to follow-up, so I'm glad to see this getting revisited.
I started looking into this, and I think we need to start at the bottom, i.e. in the setup package.
It currently provides /etc/{passwd,group} with a bunch of ids (23 groups) and /usr/lib/sysusers.d/20-setup-{users,groups} with a bunch of entries, but some of the groups listed in sysusers are not listed in the /etc files. IIUC, once we enable the rpm stuff, rpm will create /etc/{passwd,group} automatically, and the file provided by setup will be ignored. (It's specified as %config(noreplace).)
I was confused here. setup generates its two sysusers files from the passwd/groups file that it distributes, so they will always match.
We added the missing group defintions that systemd-udev relies on to default groups file distributed by setup (in setup-2.15.0-3). The next build of systemd (256~rc4-1) will drop its sysusers.d/basic.conf file.
Please carry on with the enablement of rpm sysusers handling ;)

P.S. While at it, Martin Osvald and I implemented a move of the content from the the "upstream" setup repo (https://pagure.io/setup/) into the dist-git repo (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pagure). The "upstream" was only used by a single "downstream", managed by the same people, and the separation was just generating busywork. setup >= 2.15 has all the content in dist-git.
