There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could link to https://ocaml.org/packages/search?q=ocaml-option- as a cheap way of getting the list of packages.
FWIW, the +options package doesn't have to be used - we could do suggest opam switch create 5.4.0+flambda+nffa ocaml.5.4.0 ocaml-option-flamba ocaml-option-no-flat-float-array (especially as for 5.3+ this is all actually done in the ocaml-compiler package)

Fixes #6645
To get the ball rolling i've adapted @Octachron's installation instructions from the latest OCaml release announcement.
We should probably take some time to rethink our whole usage documentation at some point but for now i think it gets the job done.
