That won't happen as long as I have any say in the matter.
I fully agree: For developers it is much better to keep things that are doing
different things separately and users are better served by `apt-get install
opm` (or whatever the equivalent of this is on Your Favorite Distribution/OS

Note that Jørgen's argument equally applies to the whole software stack of the
OS: Put the kernel, the C library, the compiler, the GUI and whatnot into one
giant repo and compiling the whole thing gets much simpler. (now, find the
