http://docs.openembedded.org/usermanual/html/recipes_defaultpreference.html
The default preference (when no DEFAULT_PREFERENCE is specified) is zero.

That's why I used only -1 when I added it. But if you have machine which
has DEFAULT_PREFERENCE -1 in all other linux recipes (positive values
are usualy assigned only for machines known to work) then you're right
it will pull it.

I'll decrease it to -2 with SRCREV bump I have in my queue..
