+Another way to look at this is that preffered content allows expressing
+`copies=offline:1`, but there's no way to express a match on the
+number of copies that are in repositories that are not in the offline group.
+
+That might be expressed as say, `copies=!offline:1`
+
+Then `not copies=!offline:1` would be useful to only want files that are
+available in some repository that is not offline.
+
+This would avoid the question of what to do with onlyingroup when a
+repository is in the specified group but also another one.
+
+I really don't like the `copies=!offline:1` syntax though. (I already
+disliked copies=group:n` and this takes it in an even worse direction.)
