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.
