The 'we' there is a Fedora 'we' not an anaconda 'we', I think. Still, in
the desing of GNOME-y 'initial setup' thing that's going to be default
for GNOME installs of F18 apparently, I see no provision for manually
setting UID/GID -
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/InitialSetup . Of
course, it may be possible to skip/circumvent it, I don't know yet.
