Nice idea if we use it together with a 'download all packages before
commit' policy.

No, KEEP_STATE should (IMO) just prevent the solver from selecting this

should use LOCKED.

The same flow could be used if the user decides not to accept a license.
Question is just whether there are alternatives.
