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