They are questioning the ultra simplified and broken definition of
"candidate", not selectables per se.

I also question it. I think a Selectable should be grouped by a flexible
policy (name, vendor, edition range, etc) and the candidate accessor
should be removed, if the user selects install, the install request to
the pool should be based on the capabilities of the defined grouping
(requiring the name, the vendor, etc) and doing a solving which could
result in one of the selectable members to transact, and not by a
superficial candidate definition.
The status of the selectable should be simply nothing if no member of
the group transacts, and to be installed, removed if one of the other
members is marked to do so.
