We still do not ignore fragindex in the full priority. This part has
always been quite unclear to me so I cannot really tell whether that
makes any difference or not but just to be on the safe side I would
preffer to have _all_ the shortcuts out of the way in the highest
priority. It is true that this will cause COMPACT_NOT_SUITABLE_ZONE
so keep retrying but still a complication to understand the workflow.

What do you think?
