You where the one starting it this time.

Well, the real problem is for when migrating between different ocaml
versions. We have currently ocaml 3.06-1, and a set of libraries around
that that. Once i upload 3.07, there will be a new set of libraries, but
the old one will still be available until all libraries and apps are
rebuilt with the new ocaml and libraries.
Now, it comes to the case of third parties apps, like the ones remi
uses, which need the old ocaml runtime, and the the corresponding
libraries also.

You were the one pointing the C library case.
We have the same problem as them.
