Maybe plymouth-text-and-details-only should be in @core and
plymouth-plugin-solar in @base?
Maybe 'yum' should be fixed to handle ambiguous situations better?
E.g. fail, warn and/or prompt when multiple packages satisfy a (virtual)
dependency?

+1 for prompting, i.e.

2 packages found satisfying "system-plymouth-plugin" dependency:
1: plymouth-graphics-solar
2: plymouth-text-and-details-only
Enter number to select [1]:

Of course, the usual select-the-one-with-the-shortest-name behaviour would
occur when using -y.

I think a better way would be to choose a plugin based on the Spin i.e. the desktop spin should prefer plymouth-graphics-solar and the server spin should prefer plymouth-text-and-details-only. I'm not sure if something like this is possible right now though. A second alternative would be to simply remove the graphical plugins from the server spin after all they merely fancy up the boot process but don't add any fundamental functionality.
