Personally, I agree with this, since they reduce bandwidth for the mirrors
(whether they help at the user's end depends on the user's hardware and
bandwidth). I also think --best should be the default, since in
Rawhide/Branched people need to know about broken deps to deal with
them
(hiding them isn't good, when a broken dep can prevent 100
packages that
need testing from updating), while in stable releases they aren't supposed
to happen anyway (hopefully better automation will actually ensure this).
But I'm more concerned with things that are completely missing (especially
if the survey doesn't include them) than about defaults that users have
control over.
In case you have some features you would like us to include, please search
bugzilla for the list of (both opened and closed) RFEs. If you don't find the
RFE in the list, feel free to open a request so we can track what people
actually want.
Your other option is to use the form to let us know what are you missing and
what is your use case (don't forget to include the second part, that's
actually the more important one).
Thanks
