Now the downside to doing this is that it would require any OCaml

simple recompile, but there are also worst-case scenarios such as
people using and relying on the old camlp4 who may have to make
modifications of their software. So it's quite a big disruption for
everyone. I'm also very aware that EPEL is supposed to be long-term
stable.
Comments?
How about doing the update when EPEL is based on RHEL 5.3. Then there could be
also an announcement that EPEL updated it and at this time RHEL/CentOS users
will expect bigger updates that normally.
