Hi all,

I'm very pleased that we now have LensKit in conda-forge (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/lenskit). I am the maintainer of the conda-forge packages, and plan to keep them up to date as we continue to develop LensKit.

Unless someone speaks up and particularly needs it, I am inclined to deprecate the 'lenskit' channel (that adds on to 'main') and focus on conda-forge as the conda-based distribution channel (and maybe someday the Anaconda folks will add it to 'main'). This will make it easier to have a self-consistent set of Python packages in your environment, and I believe it will reduce maintenance overhead.

Any thoughts on this?

- Michael
