Duncan, you mix two things here. One is 'removal of candidate', the

We are now in process of removing the latter problem - with the
application layer. The former (remove, or not remove the candidate) is
another thing. Am i right?

They are related, even if the candidate is defined in the zypp layer, it
overrides solver policies.

So things like "Upgrade all in this list" just break all consistent
behavior.

Deleting a candidate is also the same, candidates don't exists, if you
remove a Selectable it should inject a remove request to the solver of
the capability which describes best the selectable (same criteria used
for grouping), the solver is smart enough to look for a uninstalled package.
