  errors or interruptions

  `ocamlfind remove`; this now needs to be explicit through the
  `light-uninstall` flag.
* Provide `opam admin upgrade-format` to migrate package repositories to the new
  format, and create the proper OCaml compiler package wrappers
* Allow initialisation parameters from a .opamrc file, possibly completely

  metadata, warnings selection)
* Allow to create a new switch with `opam switch import`

  output selection
* Delay the removals of packages as much as possible, avoiding most cases of
  mass uninstalled packages after a build failure

  accordingly to use explicit dependencies towards the compiler version.

  search --owns-file` (#502, #1215) *this requires packages to properly separate
  build and install*, or unrelated files could get removed on package uninstall.

  defined in `~/.opam/config`; include sample Linux wrappers to restrict process
  permissions (e.g. ensure `build:` doesn't install)

  the compiler package at installation)

  `compiler` flag set

  tools (#2265)
