Conda-build uses a "hack" to down-prioritize variants of a package. This hack works by using the track_features option. Adding any track_features makes the conda, mamba and pixi solvers down prioritize that variant.
We have renamed this option, but ultimately it needs to come up with a (random) track_feature per negative point in the down-priorization. This feature only affects the metadata that is written in the recipe.
# used to prefer this variant less
