During the, very long, discussion it became apparent that different tools have different design requirements on a lock file. So it's not really clear what will happen to other lock files.

It may be this new lock file acts as an interchange format, that all tools can consume or produce, but not something they internally use.

Though, maybe we're lucky and tools will be able to use it directly, or we might have to wait for a new version of the standard once tools have been able to work with it long enough to know the deficiencies.

Non-lock files, like pyroject.toml and requirements.in remain unaffected.
