>Libraries that genuinely have special needs like numpy could always go outside this system, and have a “be careful where you install this package from” warning. But most libraries simply have no need for the machinery being exploited here. My personal experience with any situation where I need to get some crusty random python library to run has always been a situation with a lot of "-y"ing, swearing, and sketchy conda repositories. Usually it's code that was written years ago and does some very particular algorithm that's essential, so any warnings in the pipeline basically becomes ignored by the sheer difficultly of the task.
