Reason for bringing this up is that for a recipe (forgot which one) I noticed that the last 5 versions or so have DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1". This at least seems odd. For me DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" is mainly to be used if the highest versioned recipe is not well tested or unfinished or so. Also it can be used e.g. if a certain version does not build for a specifc machine (DEFAULT_PREFERENCE_machine = "-1") Then again it might be that the common understanding on how to use DEFAULT_PREFERENCE is different. Probably this is something to be documented.
