My understanding is that this OUPS meeting is precisely intended to
coincide with an "official annoucement" of the system, so I would recommend
waiting for a couple more weeks before looking at the system (surely they
have polishing planned before that) and discussing it.

I would tend to agree with your implicit remark about unclear project
status (internal/external, announced/secret, released/experimental) in the
general case; but I understand that everyone is free to handle their
project as they deem acceptable. I'm personally fine with waiting a bit --
and this is still better than ocp-build or ocaml-java.
