comment #1: 2. "zypper (resp. sat-solver) should only honor those recommends/supplements which belong to the current transaction" That would break our new feature installing language depend packages or additional kmp packages if a repo or a new hardware has been installed by the user.
Whooo, may be a cool feature, but also one of the most annoying ones, really. Especially if we don't provide a way to get away with these automatic additional packages!
comment #2: a, see above b, That would be too generally and not understandable for the user while future zypper/UI calls.
Hm. But how to solve this then? zypper in foo wants to install a lot of totaly unrelated recommended packages and there is no way to get away with them other than always using --no-recommends or by letting them to install and them removing them manually one by one.... we _need_ an acceptable solution for this. IMO, b) would be a good solution. Why do you think it would confuse users? You run zypper in, check what it's going to install, you don't like it, you retry with --no-recomends, you like it. Soft locks saved, you won't see the then would-be-selected recommends automatically popping up again.
