Although I generally agree with this approach (immediate solving), the
next 'click' in the UI changes the transaction and might trigger _a
lot_ of changes.

I think an undisturbed choice of 'install this', 'remove that' is
better for the user, thereby building a(n input) transaction for the
solver. Only when clicking 'Ok' (or 'Done'), the solver tries to solve the
transaction and presents the result.
(The 'immediate solve' checkbox can still be there, off by default).
