+= System-Wide Change: Adopting sysusers.d format
+
+Previously, users were created in `%pre` file by calling the commands `getent`, `useradd`, and `groupadd`.
+
+With this update, user are defined in the `sysusers.d` format. 
+It adds an rpm package `Provides generator` to create user(<name>) and group(<name>) virtual Provides for packages with sysusers.d files. 
+
+An rpm package `Provides` generator is added to generate user(<name>) and group(<name>)  for packages with sysusers.d files.
+
+As a benefit:
+
+* the packages declare system users using a uniform syntax.
+* standardize the scriptlet part.
+* admins may easily introspect the system user list and which packages require users.
+* admins may easily override definitions of system users by providing appropriate `sysusers.d` files with higher priority.
++
+NOTE: users are still created using old-style `useradd` calls.
+
+As a result, it makes possible to introspect system users.
