I think it is a great idea.

Well, i am not in favor of this move before October 18th... Let me
explain : the freeze should be decided at this date (as far as i know).
So to my mind it is more important to fix any pending bugs on
every ocaml packages before trying to migrate all packages to 3.09.3...
If we do the migration, we will have a period of time where we cannot do
bug correction for packages in etch...
On the other hand, i know that the freeze can shift in time, but let's
try not to be part of this shift ;-)
Another, last solution is to do the migration in experimental... It is
also a good solution.
