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. |

Yes, I know Christoph well, but it would be wasted effort as I'm not |
| 18 |
looking to convince someone away from Spack. Sides have been picked and |
