I have not been able to find any information that somehow describes the rules for when packages receive updates inside the main channel. I know there always is conda-forge, so far I’m still a fan of the main channel as it just works.
There is also a concrete example that made me ask that question:
The black code formatter has finally received a stable version some time ago (and a lot of new features) yet the versions in main/ and anaconda/ already seem a bit dusty with their age being more than two years.
Is there a rule that blocks any updates? Have those just been fogotten? Do I really have to move to conda-forge?
