-  WV: conditional dependencies
- Sneak peek: Bas has implemented conditional dependencies in resolvo! A long-standing missing feature now available; will be demo-ed in a couple weeks as part of the currently open CEP (https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/111)
- FF: Currently multi-ouputs are used for "optional dependencies and groups". We'll probably need some sort of CEP to guide the transition of this approach forward?
- WV: Yep, probably part of the CEP.
