Sorry, I should be more specific; I meant the way we want to use it in HPC, with crazy compiler and linking configurations. I have had no problems with Prefix so far, but I am considering how I want to use it. So, thanks for your work on it. > One of our friends Christoph Junghans, was a contributor of Prefix. > But eventually he decided that spack is the way to go.

Yes, I know Christoph well, but it would be wasted effort as I'm not looking to convince someone away from Spack. Sides have been picked and people are going to stick with their team. The only thing that works is marketing and propaganda because technical arguments never work.
