Can we add past_covariates and future_covariates to support in darts/darts/models/forecasting /exponential_smoothing.py ? about darts

Hi @akshobhya95,

By "design/definition", exponential smoothing does not support covariates at all. I don't know how you managed to pass it covariates?

Making Prophet and ARIMA support past covariates would be equivalent to developing new models, which is not in our priorities.

If you have some covariates at your disposition, I would recommend using focusing on models that already support them or use the other models without the covariates.

Thanks for making it clear @madtoinou.
