I know the goal of the maintainers of the defaults channel is to make the latest version available quickly. However, `defaults` requires more integration testing than conda-forge/PyPI, and work tends to happen in batches - in the past we've seen update times ranging from days to several months. We have some guidance at https://numpy.org/install/. Basically the two main reasons to use `defaults`: for beginning users with modest needs, the easiest thing to get started is just installing the Anaconda distribution (which gives you `defaults`). Or you have corporate policies to use `defaults` - you can pay Anaconda and it does come with things companies and institutions may need, like guarantees around uptime and security.
