opam is bad. One particular pain I've had is that it refuses to be installed as root so it refuses to run in containers unless you make a user in the container.

Wercker only just got the ability to run jobs as a non root user. It's been painful.

Not sure what you are speaking about. I'm using opam as root in containers everyday. It prints a warning, but apart from that works OK. What version are you using?
