</span>You refuse to provide an option to pull in only required packages and<br>
not recommended ones? So if I don't want some recommended package and<br>
its dependencies in a slimmed system I should first let DNF install them<br>
and then rpm --erase them? And if there isn't room to install them even<br>
temporarily I'll have to avoid DNF and do the dependency resolution<br>
manually?<br>

If a package recommends/suggests a package that may exist in an optional repository, will dnf still properly resolve and install the package set (minus the the recommended/suggested packages) if the optional repository isn't active?

How does this affect circular dependency logic that has mixed-level resolutions?
