Right now, to build GPU-enabled environments users must specify a specific environment variable as part of the environment.yaml that gets passed to conda-store; Currently this is the only environment variable that can be specified in this way; see https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store/issues/826 for a related issue about accepting any environment variable.
This makes for a pretty clunky user experience; this issue is to start the discussion around making this more pleasant for users.
Value and/or benefit
Making this feature less hidden will be a major improvement to users who depend on GPU environments.
