One thing I was trying to do in this post was articulate why conda packages are more versatile than wheels. I'm not convinced I did a good job with this goal and want to keep thinking about this more. Are there benefits to conda packages that you feel I didn't include in this post?

Example

> I like dogs
>> A dog bit me once when I was a kid
>>> Did you call the police
>>>> Calling the police is a bit extreme
>>>>> I have a right to report dangerous animals
>>>> The police wouldn't do anything
>>>>> They would have the animal destroyed!
>> I like dogs too, I have two pugs

Dependencies are liabilities if they become unmaintained. Smaller dependencies are more likely to go dorment.

Do you really need that 100 line dependency or can you just write it yourself?

Do you really need that 10k line package just to call a couple of 20 line utility functions?

Maybe `uv_build` + ??? will be next once they get around to implementing scm-based versioning
