Maybe I conflate installability tests with rpmdeplint tests. We need both:
A test which checks that each package is separately installable. And a test
which tcgecks that wanted combinations of packages can be installed together.

I cannot see how "exclude the packages from this set which are known
to be not co-installable" can be achieved automatically. Either the test will
examine package metadata for Conflicts to exclude the conflicting packages, or
someone will have to maintain the good set of combinanations.
Yes, I think those sets would need to be declared. The natural place
for this declaration would be in dist-git of the package.

For the others on the list (and Petr?), we have chatted a bit in the Fedora-ci matrix room. Basically `installability` already partitions and tries to run install/remove/upgrade etc. on individual packages + projects. The main issue Zbyszek found is that the `installability` test was run on `systemd` which is a fundamental project that is already installed on the runner. I have opened an issue [1] to see how this can be handled.

The other issue is with sti/tmt tests where testing-farm tries to install all packages defined in a project even if there are conflicts between each other. This is difficult because it requires quite a bit of refactoring. I think the relevant discussion to track is [2]. This would not require any special config file, just defining separate tmt plans (granted it is yet another yaml configuration).
