First thoughts: - that's added complexity.
- is that reproducible? - how can I detect that that's the case? - a standard way might be easiest - what controls prevent one user from modifying the parent venv and thereby everything that depends upon it? - would there need to be modifications to tools, or do you just manually set VIRTUAL_ENV to the parent? - are there strange effects e.g. when v1 has pkg.this but v2 has removed pkg.this and then `impory pkg.this` still succeeds?
