I have been a big Astral and uv booster for a long time. But specifications like this one: https://gist.github.com/b7r6/47fea3c139e901cd512e15f42355f26... have me re-evaluating everything.

That's TensorRT-LLM in it's entirety at 1.2.0rc6 locked to run on Ubuntu or NixOS with full MPI and `nvshmem`, the DGX container Jensen's Desk edition (I know because I also rip apart and `autopatchelf` NGC containers for repackaging on Grace/SBSA).

It's... arduous. And the benefit is what exactly? A very mixed collection of maintainers have asserted that software behavior is monotonic along a single axis most of which they can't see and we ran a solver over those guesses?

I think the future is collections of wheels that have been through a process the consumer regards as credible.
