Why does 2.15's environments feature (very cool, btw) indirect the environment references through `pants.toml`'s ``environments-previews.names` setting? It seems like

[environments-previews.names] foo = "//:foo

with

some_target(..., environment="foo")

could, naively, be collapsed to

some_target(..., environment="//:foo")

without needing the duplication in `pants.toml`; am I missing something?

it effectively allows you to redirect which environment targets are associated with through the configuration, which could accommodate differences in dev environments for instance.

Ah, right, so https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.15/docs/environments#toggle-use-of-an-environment-for-some-consumers I hadn't connected the dots 😄

yep 👍

yea. that, and having a complete set of environments listed somewhere, so that

__local__

(the default for targets that don’t set one) can resolve against a complete set
