Why not but then provide me *convenient and easily understandable* tools that allow me to implement this interface in a reliable way. I don't want to replicate install logic in my twelve and growing packages, I used to do that but it's too costly in terms of maintenance. I now found a way of delegating the install logic to a tool in what I suppose is the main distribution channel for my packages (and that shouldn't be too hard for other distribution channels to use), I'm not going back unless something better and as convenient emerges.

Joke for joke. Besides I'm not proposing anything, I responded to the original poster's question on how I proceed to install libraries with OPAM.
Best,
