I appreciate your explanation, and understand that you are expecting
the behavior of Smart to be the same of APT, the tool you've been
using so far.  I've worked on APT-RPM for quite some time before
starting the Smart project, so I understand how the pinning system
works there. If you try out the priority system in Smart, I'll be
glad to have your input on it.
