That is correct, however I will probably orphan ocaml-deriving and
ocaml-sexplib very soon because we only need ocaml-bin-prot for infer
and I have no need for the other two packages.

However, ocaml-bin-prot was also rewritten and went through 2 versioning
changes in the meantime resulting in the current latest version being
smaller than the current version in Fedora. This will probably cause all
kinds of funny problems if I try to submit an update with a smaller
NEVRA :(
