Description
I am trying out pixi with ROS, and I am running into several issues when building ROS packages because ros2-distro-mutex pulls in much newer library versions than those typically used in native ROS setups.
For example, the recommended distribution for humble is Ubuntu 22.04, where the available libpcl-dev version is 1.12.1. However, ros2-distro-mutex pulls PCL 1.15.1. The same situation applies to the other pinned libraries.
This feels like it introduces unnecessary friction for people trying to build ROS 2 with pixi+robostack. Is there a specific reason for this choice?

Research direction
Start by inspecting the ros2-distro-mutex dependency pins and comparing them with the Ubuntu 22.04 libraries used by ROS Humble, especially PCL 1.12.1 versus 1.15.1. Determine whether the pins should align with the recommended ROS distribution or whether their rationale should be documented; done means the mismatch is resolved or clearly explained.
