It seems to me that Dario's scheme, that is always have PKG.ppx, is more forward looking. We could perfectly imagine that a library in the future will implement its functionality using another mechanism (for example in a non-ugly way, using a macro system). 

We can imagine current packages that are using camlp4 providing both a legacy PKG.camlp4 and a PKG.ppx package.

It also makes it more clear in the build system specification what crap pre-processing technology is being pulled in. 

Best,

Daniel
