The `devcontainer` pip job is failing like this: ```text ERROR: Cannot install cuml-cu11 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies. The conflict is caused by: raft-dask-cu11 24.8.0a20 depends on distributed-ucxx-cu11==0.39.*...

The only failing tests here are the **optional** `pandas` ones, and the failures look unrelated to the changes on this PR (https://github.com/rapidsai/cuml/pull/5804#issuecomment-2142439264). I also double-checked that there's no use of...

This is currently failing with the following conflicts. *(I've included just 1 example of each type below)* ([CUDA 11.8 build log](https://github.com/rapidsai/cuspatial/actions/runs/8436711659/job/23104847562?pr=1363)) ([CUDA 12.2 build log](https://github.com/rapidsai/cuspatial/actions/runs/8436711659/job/23104847977?pr=1363)) 1. `fmt` and `rmm` issues...

This work is paused, in favor of pursuing a better long-term solution in the future. Closing this PR for now. Subscribe to https://github.com/rapidsai/build-planning/issues/54 and https://github.com/rapidsai/build-planning/issues/56 for updates.

The `conda-cpp-build` failures look like the same MPI issue reported in #4474, and not directly related to this PR's changes. Once that's fixed, we'll be able to test conda builds...

The test failures look like this issue unrelated to this PR: https://github.com/rapidsai/cugraph/pull/4496#issuecomment-2192783353. I believe this PR is now ready for review.

The other changes on `branch-24.08` since this was last built don't look like they'd affect or be affected by these changes, so I'm going to merge this. Thanks everyone!
