That's actually why I stumbled across it; I just started using OCaml for a new project a few days ago and was disappointed that opam was still not in Fedora, so I decided to investigate what would be required to make it happen. I assumed it would probably be safe to resubmit the other reviews (which I may do over the next few weeks as time permits), but I wasn't sure what to do about this one. Thanks for clarifying!
