Bear in mind that by default Fedora allocates each user to his own
private group. Presumably someone who intentionally shares group
membership is expected to understand the implications and adjust umask

Another good point. It seems that my concerns about umask might be
misguided.
Dunno. I'm fairly private and like to end my umask in a 7 normally. Usually
discussions revolve around the group bits.
Normally you wouldn't share membership of your personal group - this arranges
that 027 (or the like) in your home directory is essentially private. Instead,
one makes other groups for shared work.
For example, my partner and I have a group for "us"; both our personal accounts
are in it (so it is a secondary group membership); we have a shared third
account (for stuff to do with home and so on); its group has both our
individual accounts as members, giving both of us read/write to it.
