Consider including conda-pypi?

Thoughts? Could also make sense to have this somewhere in the MNE install instructions eventually?

Looks like a good idea on first read, but would like a bit of time to think on it

Seems like a good idea. It will cause pip install ... to fail but with an informative message that allows the user to override the protection and unsafely (as always) do pip install ... by setting an additional flag or env var

Let's keep an eye on it, but for now I think it's too early. Recommended installation method fails:

$ conda install -n base conda-pypi

Yes it's not yet on conda-forge!
