The differences between backtracking and SAT solvers and such is perhaps a bit of of my depth, but just FWIW when installing from Wheel it’s basically just waiting on a new API to get this information in a static form. Installing from sdist still has the problem (and likely will forever) but I think it’s not *unreasonable* to say that using wheels is what you need to do to get fast dep solving and if people aren’t providing wheels it will be slow(er?). — Donald Stufft
