### New Agenda Items

* [CHL] Drafting CEP to add `--compat-level` option to `conda index`
* Resolves issues about older conda versions not understanding `~=` MatchSpec operator introduced in conda 4.9.1/conda-build 3.20.5, without completely backing out the changes. (People who don't need backawards compatibility won't need to worry about it.)

* `__glibc`, `__osx` virtual packages (conda 4.8)
* Run constrains (Spec added in conda ???)
* Replacing MD5 with SHA256 (SHA256 added in conda ???)

* track_features, features (new option to deprioritize builds)
* selectors in general
* selectors without comments
