Since the base conda environment is typically located in ~/miniconda3, it means that the base tarball will be saved as ~/base.tar.gz. We want to:

[ ] save this next to the other tarballs, i.e. as ~/miniconda3/envs/base.tar.gz. This should not add a naming conflict because 'base' is a reserved name.

Maybe should prevent the base environment from being staged, simply because it's really big. Better to work with smaller environments.

It can actually be really useful to stage the base environment, especially if it's already a read-only installation.

SquashFS can make it even more convenient.
