What anaconda is doing is taking that kickstart input and feed it into 
run-time tools in a way that those tools can do what we want them to do.

Except those tools change over time, and their inputs change over time, 
so anaconda breaks over time just in trying to take data in one place 
and feed it into another.

Isn't software fun?
