I'm all ears - tell me another way of how we should know that of 3 items 
one should be chosen over the others?

We've got lots of criteria we use to score up/down pkgs in 
compare_providers in yum. It's not just length of pkg name.

But at the end of the day, it is possible that length of pkg name could be 
the deciding variable.

Would you rather we pull one at random?
