Just so we do know the numbers:
$ repoquery --whatrequires '/usr/sbin/useradd' --qf='%{name}' | sort | 
uniq | wc -l
54
$ repoquery --whatrequires 'fedora-usermgmt' --qf='%{name}' | sort | 
uniq | wc -l
25

Total of 79.  This is actually fewer users then I thought and a larger 
adoption rate of fedora usermgmt then I thought.  Anywho, its not 640k 
:-D but that's our number
