Thanks a lot for that!
According to your mail, results are good enough to not warrant any
particular issues on the Caml mailing list, that was the feedback
explicitly requested on the announcement of the beta version.

Thanks, but that definitely something less urgent that what was OCaml
itself. Even if there are problems with camlp5, they can be most
likely be fixed by new releases of camlp5, and Daniel (camlp5's
upstream) is really reactive in that respect. So, if you want to do
that go ahead, but I really see no reason to hurry up with that.

Cool.

You mean that they should be elsewhere wrt #500036, right?
If this is the case yes, you're right, but more generally everything
will need to be moved around, of course post Lenny.
If you mean something else I don't understand why those .cmxs
shouldn't be in ocaml-nox. It is there that we currently have *.cma
and they are dynamically loadable as well.

This means that .cmxs generation are neither generated nor shipped,
right?

Yes, I propose as a way to do that to file bugs in Mantis and notify
this mailing list for each of them, to avoid duplicating submissions.
Cheers.
