Thanks for letting me know.

Is the Khronos Group one better, such that there's no reason to keeping
ocl-icd?  (The README for ocl-icd states "[t]his package aims at
creating an Open Source alternative to vendor specific OpenCL ICD
loaders."  Is the Khronos Group one similarly not vendor-specific?)

If so, would you consider replacing ocl-icd with it in
core-updates-frozen, since it and its dependents are currently broken?
