But the main problem with it is that most upstream requirements.txt,
etc.,... all use the infix method.  And I hate to say it, but more and
more so-called "package management" systems (mostly language specific
ones) all use that method.  So transitioning to that, should make
package maintenance easier.  Possibly even have some automation tools
to check them during version bumps, etc...
