The release notes say:
"Upgrades from earlier Fedora releases will keep their configuration, 
starting user accounts from 500."
Might be worth noting that that only user accounts starting at 1000 with 
be listed in the login screen,
even for updates.  (Unless that has recently changed.)

Might be worth mentioning:
   Advanced users can renumber user files by:
   (1) chown --from OLD_OWNER:OLD_GROUP NEW_OWNER:NEW_GROUP /
   (2) Edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group as appropriate
