+;; The python-mypy-for-tests variant should be used only in native-inputs of
+;; packages with a large number of (indirect) dependents. This allows the main,
+;; user-facing, python-mypy package to be refreshed freely without requiring
+;; thousands of packages to be rebuild. python-mypy-for-tests should only be
+;; updated on the python-team branch, and is allowed to lag behind python-mypy on
+;; master.
