If we set PREFERRED_PROVIDER for some recipes, for example, libx11, there will be 2 recipes shown as selected in "View Recipes", one is libx11 and another is libx11-trim. If we re-select MACHINE and Base Image, the correct recipe list will be shown up.
Comment 1 Shane Wang 2012-04-13 10:11:05 UTC 
That is because some setting conflicts with the recipe the user selected.

If the user uses the preferred provider, it should be built for use.
If the user selects a recipe, it also should be built into the image.

The walkaround for the user is to deselect the recipe. So I don't think the problem is critical and probably we can provide some detection mechanism in v1.3.

So I put it to v1.3.
