Dream no longer installs on lower OCaml versions, because mirage-crypto requires OCaml 4.13. See mirage/mirage-crypto#233 The reason for mirage-crypto requiring 4.13 seems to be minor convenience, and isn't justified in my opinion. However, Dream itself will likely require OCaml 5 in the medium term due to upgrading to multicore and effects, so it seems unnecessary to make an effort to restore 4.08 support at this point.
dream-mirage has additional dependencies that may be slower to update, or otherwise cause package conflicts. It's only needed for the mirage test, not for the main test suite of Dream.
