Should we always pass --nobest during dnf install? #5090

Description

@LecrisUT

With the test coverage in #5028, we should consider if we should not just always add --nobest. With this eln pr it is basically confirmed that --best configuration on centos/rhel is intentional even for dnf5+.

The question here what should our prepare/install do

Stick to the behavior of the distro

And accept situations that are not supposed to be installable as broken

Focus on getting packages/artifacts installed

And pass any flags needed to get it done


For the most cases it should not matter as most tests that are failing are against intentionally broken cases, but there is /available-artifacts/obsoletes/pre-installed/downgrade/with-devel that would be relevant to check
