Greg, I'm all for anything that makes the release process on developers easier; my main question is : With conda-forge, how hard is it to install just _one_ package without having everything else (say numpy, pandas, etc) upgraded to the latest conda-forge version? I've had situations in the past where i'm like "oh I'd just like the latest ___" and suddenly everything in my conda env has been upgraded to the bleeding edge.
