The main blocker I see is coq which heavily uses camlp4. I think that a patch is currently being made but it's highly non-trivial and it might take some time to achieve...

Ah, right. Do you consider this a blocker for the upload?

I personally don't, since Coq is just one application and we need to
rebuild and test many of them. As an alternative (assuming the worst
case scenario of a Coq patch for 3.10 not appearing anytime soon), what
about uploading a new source package ocaml-3.09.2 and make it a build
depend for Coq?

Well, no needs for tests I can already predict that coq will fail to build with ocaml 3.10 and will therefore prevent it from entering testing (as well as every package depending on ocaml). It might effectively be a good idea to consider uploading versionned packages for ocaml...

Cheers,

Samuel.
