Typically those things belong to dialout on my systems, but as far as I can tell there is no uucp group by default on my machine

It appears that the uucp group was deprecated in Fedora at some point and you are supposed to use dialout for this particular purpose. I wrote instructions for the Boston Embedded Systems Meetup's Bring and Blink Workshop (heavily based on this book but with some contextual changes) for Fedora 23+ (https://embedded-boston.github.io/tutorial-bring-and-blink-rust/03-setup/linux.html)

I can put together a PR if you approve

Can confirm that the instructions from @cwoodall work on Fedora 28.
