As I explained I don't think so. In the best case you delegate the
nightmare to the user. Can you explain exactly where the nightmare is
with embedding ? If the distributed modules you integrate are
labelled with a version, I don't see it. The work needed for
maintenance in the long term is exactly the same, except only the
developer has to care. As for security updates in ocaml, you cannot
anyway rely on dynamic linking. Which I see as a good thing, for
applications dynamic linking creates more problems than it solves and
should be avoided most of the time (except of course for system
libraries).
Best,
Daniel
