It was then removed. It was all the more a bad decision that now, we suffer from packages wrongly adding `ocamlfind {build}` dependencies in OPAM, forgetting that they actually depend on the `bytes` library in `ocamlfind`. Note that `ocp-build` comes with its own compatibility library `ocplib-compat` (it provides a `StringCompat` module that can be opened to provide the same String/Bytes API for all OCaml versions). But the rationale here was that it was used by `ocp-build` itself, and used `ocp-build` to compile itself. --Fabrice
