Why not just call it swamp? It would better describe the python ecosystem mess ;)
Jokes aside, this feels very meta: package manager for a package manager for a package manager. Reminds me of the old RFC1925: "you can always add another layer of abstraction". That RFC also says "perfection has been reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away".
And as a hpc admin, I'm not offering my users any help with conda and let them suffer on their own. Instead I'm showing them the greener pastures with spack, easybuild and eessi whenever I can. And they're slowly migrating over.
