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.

shortest-name has not been the sole distinguishing characteristic between two providing pkgs for a while now. We determine the best provider by scoring the providers based on a series of tests. The one with the best score wins.
