The post didn't answer why it took over 4 years.
Why couldn't everyone be flied to the same place and have it all figured out in a week instead of having the process drag on for years?

Python was better with a BDFL.
The best thing that could happen to Python right now would be for someone to fork it. Maybe just have Astral run away with the whole language. This lock file format should have taken a weekend, not four damn years.
The problem is that the BDFL also didn't want to think about packaging, certainly not the issues that inspired Conda.
I wouldn't mind seeing a PyPy-like fork done in Rust. Maybe take the opportunity to redesign the standard library, too.
