I've just started testing (based on the current HEAD of topic/libsolv),

Now that you've made "Test" a checkbox, independent of the radio
buttons "Keep/Current/Sync", users might be confused by the fact that
"Current" remains selected when "Test" is checked.
Initially, I didn't want to make any UI change here, but it made it a
lot easier to think about how map the command line options to solver flags.
But yeah, I wasn't sure if I should change this or not. I kept it the
same just to keep the default the same, but that doesn't seem a very
good reason.
"Test" should probably be something a little less terse, as well.

the "Current" label should be changed to "Best", in keeping with its new
meaning (and tooltip).
People seem to sometimes think "Current" means (something like) "Sync",
when it fact it is (something like) "Best", so perhaps that's another
reason why a change of name is a good idea.
