I don't feel strongly, but as a uv author, I found "local dependencies" misleading. It's more like "uv's killer feature is making ad-hoc environments easy".

When we talk about local dependencies in the Python packaging ecosystem, it's usually adding some package on your file system to your environment. The existing title made me think this would be about the `[tool.uv.sources]` feature.

Really, it's about how we create environments on-demand and make it trivial to add packages to your environment or try other Python versions without mutating state.

Sorry dang, didn't know the practice + got a bit emotional haha. I agree with the remark above, my message is rather on how easy it is to run python scripts with dependencies (without mutating the state.

Happy to take correction from an author! I've switched the wording above.
