-# Sorting Things Out
-
-Hi!  I really hope that everyone reading this is still doing okay,
-and if that isn't the case, I wish you a good day!
-
-## `pip` 20.2 Released!
-
-Last Wednesday, `pip` 20.2 was released, delivering the `2020-resolver`
-as well as many other improvements!  I was lucky to be able
-to get the `fast-deps` feature to be included as part of the release.
-A brief description of this *experimental* feature as well as testing
-instruction can be found on [Python Discuss][].
-
-The public exposure of the feature also remind me of some further
-{{pip 8681 optimization}} to make on {{pip 8670 "the lazy wheel"}}.
-Hopefully without download parallelization it would not be too slow
-to put off testing by concerned users of `pip`.
-
-## Preparation for Download Parallelization
-
-As of this moment, we already have:
-
-* {{pip 8162#issuecomment-667504162 "Multithreading pool fallback working"}}
-* An opt-in to use lazy wheel to optain dependency information,
-  and thus getting a list of wheels at the end of resolution
-  ready to be downloaded together
-
-What's left is *only* to interject a parallel download somewhere after
-the dependency resolution step.  Still, this struggles me way more than
-I've ever imagined.  I got so stuck that I had to give myself a day off
-in the middle of the week (and study some Rust), then I came up with
-{{pip 8638 "something what was agreed upon as difficult to maintain"}}.
-
-Indeed, a large part of this is my fault, for not communicating the design
-thoroughly with `pip`'s maintainers and not carefully noting stuff down
-during (verbal) discussions with my mentor.  Thankfully {{pip 8685
-"Chris Hunt came to the rescue"}} and did a refactoring that will
-make my future work much easier and cleaner.
