That may well be a good idea. One thing pip does is go to great lengths to *not* have any dependencies (by vendoring everything it needs, and relying only on pure Python code). It looks like the conda devs haven't (yet? ;-)) found the need to do that. So a suitable set of wheels would go a long way to improving the bootstrap experience. Having to have MSVC (or gcc, I guess, if they can get your build issues fixed) if you want to bootstrap conda is a pretty significant roadblock...
