new yay offers to exlcude package every time

Recently yay offers to exlcude package every time, e.g.

$ yay -Syu
...
:: 4 packages to upgrade/install.
4  extra/blas-openblas   0.3.29-1 -> 0.3.30-1
3  extra/enchant         2.8.2-2  -> 2.8.9-1
2  extra/openblas        0.3.29-1 -> 0.3.30-1
1  extra/python-urllib3  2.4.0-1  -> 2.5.0-1
==> Packages to exclude: (eg: "1 2 3", "1-3", "^4" or repo name)
 -> Excluding packages may cause partial upgrades and break systems
==> 

If there are no conflicts with the packages, I'd like it not to offer this option, anyway?
BTW

yes | yay -Syu

seems helpful, but will it work well in all cases?

I suspect https://github.com/Jguer/yay/pull/2450 but you'll have to ask and file a bug upstream about this - or maybe reconsider why you're using yay if it predominantly will cause you headaches…

4 options as below

--answerclean
--answerdiff
--answeredit
--answerdiff

but none is for excluding packages.

Github is blocked here, if it is a bug, I think it'll be fixed later. Thanks.
