Well, I am advocating a change. IMHO the immutable strings is a very
useful concept and I would really like to see it in OCaml.

It is obvious that at this point changing the default behavior would not
be possible. However, adding the new "immutable strings" type would
definitely be great and adding a compiler flag that would turn all
string constants, "^", etc in a given module into immutable string
operations would be nice as well and would not break any existing code.
