Add support for managing Conda environments and packages

I'm very excited by uv and the possibilities it hints at for the future of one-stop packaging and environment management. As for a vast number of scientists, though, conda is pretty much essential to many of my projects. A package manager limited to PyPI may replace pip and venv for pure Python projects for me but will always have to sit alongside conda with conda-forge. I get that it's still very early days, but are there any ambitions/plans to truly turn Python packaging into a single effective ecosystem and unite the science and programming camps? Might uv in future also manage conda environments or use packages from conda-forge/other repos? Or should I reign in my excitement a little?
