Description of problem: So I have a bunch of things I've excluded in dnf.conf, for various reasons (usually that automatic update would screw something up). 15:04:30 0 [~]1 grep exclude /etc/dnf/dnf.conf exclude=xorg-x11-server* xorg-x11-drv-* kernel* fetchmail akmod-nvidia kmod-nvidia* dracut skypeforlinux slack 15:06:40 0 [~]1 dnf list updates Last metadata expiration check: 0:04:31 ago on Tue 14 Aug 2018 03:06:01 PM EDT. 15:10:32 0 [~]1 dnf --disableexcludes=all list updates Last metadata expiration check: 0:04:46 ago on Tue 14 Aug 2018 03:06:01 PM EDT.

Complete! This is new in 3.2 behavior, 3.0.2 didn't act this way. It doesn't need to tell me that kernel* and skypeforlinux are not upgrading because they're disabled, I already *know* they're not upgrading because I disabled them. What *would* make sense is if it complained when some *other* package fails to upgrade because I've disabled a pre/co-req (for instance, when 'tracecmd' fails to update because it requires 'kernelshark' which is disabled) - and in fact dnf *does* get that right (or did the last time it had occasion to) I admit having no clue why it's complaining about gimp, meson, and ninja-build being disabled.
