Not really.  Admin who wants fedora-usermgmt functionality does:
 1. Install minimal system
 2. Install fedora-usermgmt and configure it
 3. Install rest of the packages

I fail to see what you gain with those Extras packages directly Requiring
fedora-usermgmt.  Admin who wants to configure it still will have to follow 
the 1,2,3 steps as above.
