Hi there and thanks for the great software!

Been using it for some years now and ever since `mamba` came out, I’ve been hoping you would include it to Anaconda by default – yes, it takes a very long time to just update all and to solve the environment for `mamba`, even after an initial clean install.

Adding `mamba` would greatly reduce deployment times on new deployments and re-installs, so, if possible, please consider adding it to the Anaconda default package, or perhaps even consider if Anaconda would benefit from switching to `conda` commands to utilize `mamba` by default altogether (obvious caveats, but probably worth thinking about, considering how time-consuming can regular `conda` be with solving the environments).

Thanks for your time, all the best.
