+# Irritatingly, there is no blessed guide on how to distribute an application with its
+# poetry-managed environment in a docker image. We have opted for
+# `poetry export | pip install -r /dev/stdin`, but there are known bugs in
+# in `poetry export` whose fixes (scheduled for poetry 1.2) have yet to be released.
+# In case we get bitten by those bugs in the future, the recommendations here might
+# be useful:
