What's the rationale behind this? (it sets umask 022 for almost everybody)

RH has the scheme where each user has his own group, as the primary group. Therefore the use of umask 002 in this case is reasonable.

What's the rationale behind umask 022 for normal users?

This is for the regular PLD scenario, where primary group of users is users.

Thanks. Still, why all my files should (by default) be og+r? Why not 077 umask?
