Can you stop the --break-system-packages madness?

Why (keep) the `uv pip` interface?

Has anything changed in your day by day work since OpenAI acquisition?

It’s widely used, and there are still a lot of workflows that we hear about from users where they want/need to manually twiddle environments rather than having the “declarative” layer do it for them.

WDYM by madness? I know what the flag is (and what it does), but people have strong opinions in opposite directions about what Python packaging should do around system environments.

For me, honestly not much.

We have the interface because we care a lot about meeting people where they are.

We keep the interface because we care a lot about long-term support and compatibility. I cannot imagine removing it.

We generally want to add features to the top-level interface such that people don't need or want to use the pip-interface because the top-level interface does everything you need, but better.
