To fork the thread slightly, how big are the camlp4 dependencies remaining
in your codebase, and is there anything we can do to help migrate?
It's pretty exhausting trying to keep camlp4 maintained with a skeleton
crew, and there appears to be a stubborn tail of packages which aren't
migrating despite it having been quite a few years since the deprecation.
Having said that, patches for 4.08 support for camlp4 are also welcome
if anyone wants to step up to help maintain it. It's only deprecated from
the perspective of being bundled with the core compiler distribution,
and is now deprecated due to lack of programmer-will to keep it going.
regards,
Anil
