I put product names usually into quotes.

Why do you think, that 'yum' knows which choice is the best one? E.g. the
'plymouth' case shows that the wrong decision was taken and that the user
would have made the right one.

How do you define/configure a "good default course"? Prompting is
probably easier to implement than such a logic.
