- in pursuit of server/web install on Ubuntu 22.04 (Python 3.10, OpenSSL 3)
- conda & MacOS also have issues. esp. when OpenSSL bumps.

- some harder decisions to make moving forward. (docs & support)
- Melissa: aware of spec changes coming but no action items yet
- Seb: limitations of the Duplicate command.
