Sorry to intervene again, but I feel the state of discussion within Dune
(numerics) upstream is misrepresented here.  While it looks currently like the
final statement will be "Dune (ocaml) can have /usr/bin/dune and the package
names", several of our core developers have not indicated their preference
yet.  And one of those may well come up with a good enough argument to change
the mind of those who already responded.

We usually assume people that don't repond don't care after about a week.  And
we'd usually wait longer for issues such as this one which cannot be undone by
something as simple as a "revert".  I'll try to ping the relevant people to
speed things up.  And I (or one of the other core developers) will let you
know here (#919951) when our discussion can be considered to have concluded.

Regards,
Jö.
