OK, so I guess they should not be used anymore e.g. in upstream CI
systems?

TBH, I was slightly surprised that apparently nothing broke because of
this, as there are sources that do not build-depend on ocaml-nox (only
ocaml).

Regarding the transition: it looks like there is not much activity from
the LLVM people... so I'd ask for an upload, since it will still be
stuck waiting anyway.
