To everyone that’s contributed to the OCaml package community over the past decade: thank you.
And to the hard working maintainers of opam and opam-repository, an equally large amount of gratitude. The human element of having a manually curated package database for our community was controversial when we decided to do it back in 2011, but it has worked out well in retrospect and simply wouldn’t have been possible without all of you being willing to take part with your code and energy.
