#4762: opam upgrade is confusing when nothing can be upgraded any further because of the current switch invariant
- comment The other part is a (good) feature request - the ocaml package is {post} dependency of ocaml-base-compiler. We should not display upgrade messages about packages in the invariant - so the ocaml package should not be considered for upgrade because it's a {post} dependency of the switch invariant and the upgrade would require relaxing the switch invariant.

#3737: opam upgrade -a package fails to resolve dependencies because it refuses to downgrade
- the entire point of using opam upgrade -a PACKAGE is make sure that PAKCAGE is installed and everything is up-to-date in a single transaction. It seems that that's not actually currently possible in opam.
