Should I file a but to fix DEFAULT_PREFERENCE between layers? 

Because there is also use case when newer development version is added 
to e.g. meta-oe with negative D_P and only users who decide to test/use
that version should get it, if they define P_V for this new version.

Currently it would became default version for all meta-oe users without
P_V specified, which isn't very intuitive.
