No, don't do anything now.  I'm doing an OCaml rebuild of all OCaml
rawhide packages into a side tag.  If that works then we can just fold
that side tag into Rawhide and it's all good.

I can't remember but isn't that how it originally worked for OCaml
and then it was added to RPM?  In any case there's probably some value
in sharing this code across RPM-based distributions.  (Note this code
came directly from SUSE, derived from work I originally did for Fedora).
