Completely wrong. fedora-usermgmt behaves like a traditional useradd by
default. You do not have to configure something for that, nor do you
need to turn off something, nor do you need to learn something about it.

See above: nobody forces you to use it. fedora-usermgmt + traditional
useradd coexist perfectly by default.

afaik, it is completely ok when Fedora Extra packages depend on other
Fedora Extra packages.
