Well, last time I touched it, it recommended *trying* --best. You may
have been looking at the 'upgrading with yum' page, which has different
instructions.
I was looking at the dnf system upgrade feature page, which still
recommends masking packagekit-offline-updates
--best will bail with a useful message if there are any updates
available that cannot be applied - say you have foo-1 installed, and
foo-2 is available, but can't be installed due to some dependency
problem, --best will bail and tell you why. Without --best the upgrade
will just leave 'foo' at 'foo-1' and proceed, without really telling
you.

Hmmm not what I thought it'd do. Im still trying to figure out why
system-upgrade left me with about a 1k post-upgrade updates to apply.
