Disabling PyPy

[jakirkham]

Recently the Dask Community decided to drop PyPy support. Given this, what is the best way for us to disable PyPy support? We can add a skip to the recipe to disable these builds.

Though as discussed in issues ( regro/cf-scripts#1044 ) ( regro/cf-scripts#1386 ), we don't have a great way to opt-out of migrations and this can have downstream effects.

Given this, am raising this issue to solicit feedback ( cc @conda-forge/core ) on how we should handle this here and the proceed with next steps.

Admittedly this may be less of an issue given we were able to move to noarch somewhat recently ( #199 ) (though this could always change in the future if selectors are needed again). Also not sure if there is a good way for noarch packages to error when installing with pypy

If you opt out then downstream packages that need pypy and dask have no choice. Mark the prs as drafts.

[jakirkham]

Think we added PyPy previously ( #155 ). So Idk if there is a way to back that out as it were

This might also be tied to accendental merges of PRs for migrations:
conda-forge/lintel-feedstock#15 (comment)

Is supporting pypy such a burden that it is worth actively blocking? Has it caused problems?

[jakirkham]

@mattip probably better to have that discussion in issue ( dask/distributed#5681 )

[hmaarrfk]

to be honest. with the pypy38 migration, now might be the best time to simply delete the yaml file.

[hmaarrfk]

Users will still be able to use the old version.

[mrocklin]

It's just that there haven't been any known users, and we're trying to be a little bit more focused. There's a question that arises of "would this affect PyPy users?" that we'd prefer not to have to think about.
