There is also a breaking change in the handling of CUDA. Instead of using a CUDA compatible jaxlib
as before, you can use plugins like `python3Packages.jax-cuda12-plugin`.

- Added `allowVariants` to gate availability of package sets like `pkgsLLVM`, `pkgsMusl`, `pkgsZig`, etc. This was done in an effort to
