02/03/2022, 4:09 PMFYI I will fork 2.10 docs today & start updating them, given that we're close to rc0. Lmk if you want to make edits to 2.9 first

But we mention where you won't want to use it (VCS requirements), and the workaround of no lockfile or a constraints file, which maybe links to 2.9 docs
Wdyt?

02/03/2022, 11:09 PMit is possible to generate the lockfiles outside of Pants and have Pants/pex consume them...I wonder if that's worth highlighting? Or if you need VCS and/or python-repos we give up on the feature entirely
That's tough, it's such a better experience than status quo
