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.
