I would love to see "dnf mark" command to utilize for this.
Something
like: dnf mark soft-remove I.e. remove the package and does not install it
again unless something pull it back using hard "Requires".
Why would we require explicit marking? There is no technical reason to. Just
implement the logic I described in:
https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/issues/168#issuecomment-349738465
Requiring explicit marking would be no better than requiring an explicit
excludes= in the dnf.conf, i.e., no real improvement over the current broken
status quo.
