Therefore packages that are not installable via \texttt{pip} are currently

systems, including \texttt{conda}, in a future release. Because \texttt{Davos} relies on
\texttt{pip} to install packages, it is also subject to the same limitations as
\texttt{pip} itself. For example, \texttt{pip}-installing a package that depends on
a previously \texttt{smuggle}d package may result in the previously smuggled package
being upgraded or downgraded to a different version. Whereas lockfiles, or lockfile-based
systems like \texttt{Poetry}~\cite{Eust19}, place stronger guarantees that each package will
have a stable version, we have opted for a more flexible (but, consequently, less
deterministic) implementation for \texttt{Davos}. This enables us to support
more advanced use cases, such as those described in Section~\ref{sec:illustrative-example},
but at the cost of managing potential conflicts between \texttt{smuggle}d
packages.

A third limitation of \texttt{Davos} is that it cannot be used to manage projects that
depend on non-Python software. For example, system software or libraries from
