 If you go that route, you will need to [rerender the feedstock](../infrastructure/#conda-forge-admin-please-rerender)
 after adding the `conda_build_config.yaml` file.
 
+Using `noarch: python` packages, with `python {{ python_min }}` pins in their `test.requires` section, as
+`downstream` tests can cause failures for the `upstream` package if the Python version required for the test

+1. Constrain the `downstream` tests in the `upstream` package to only run on `python_min`.

+More or less, you prefer the first solution when testing the `downstream` package on `python_min` is the most important thing. You prefer the second solution when testing all Python versions of the `upstream` package with the `downstream` package is the most important thing.

 Adding an explicit `python_min` to your `noarch: python` recipe can be an effective way to ensure the required
