Thanks for clarifying. I'd like to add that even if we will always have 
diverging dependencies, there is a lot of room for improvement. And we 
shouldn't take the impossible target as an excuse for making the gap 
smaller.

It's also very nice to see all the evolution around conda I'm looking 
forward to the findings about pinning. One thing that I'd be interested 
in is knowing what it takes to setup our own version of conda forge 
(where we could possibly also install Qt from upstream packages to spare 
the troubles). Happy to discuss this further.

Matthias
