[yt-dev] What needs to be done for a 3.3 release?

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Nathan,

(I'll reply to Andrew a bit later once I've thought it over.)

I'd strongly campaign against unifying the two scripts right now, if
ever.  I don't like that we have two either, but I don't think we
should make this part of the 3.3 release cycle, just because it's yet
another major potential disruption.  It would be nice to work out a
way to migrate nicely to conda, but maybe we should hold off until we
have infrastructure in place for our own conda package builds?
