We need some documentation of:

I am not sure that documentation should be included at the moment. This will leave the option to discuss the future of this (at the moment likely infrequently used) package after the 2.6 release. Currently, the package doesn't work on windows (see Cantera/conda-recipes#20), and there may be additional steps required to make it useful (see Cantera/enhancements#140).

PS: One way to go about this would be to just package the headers and examples in the regular conda package by default, which would be imho the best possible outcome (i.e. same behavior as if cantera were built with the layout=conda option).

I think it would be worth documenting the cases that work, at least Linux where (I suspect) this is most likely to be used. If anything, I think we would only drop this package for Windows but leave the other two platforms that are easier to support.
