## `conda.common`

Code in `conda.common` is not conda-specific. Technically, it sits **aside** the application
stack and not **within** the stack. It is able to stand independently on its own.
The **only** allowed imports of conda code in `conda.common` modules are imports of other
`conda.common` modules and imports from `conda._vendor`.

If objects are needed from other parts of conda, they should be passed directly as arguments to
functions and methods.
