That makes perfect sense. You can get the same illusion of ABI compatibility as in C by simply wrapping your OCaml library in a C wrapper and publishing the C header file as the ABI. I even wrote a tool to do this automatically. Real ABI compatibility is a tricky problem that only works in very limited cases (eg. you extend the interface with new functions and never modify even the internals of existing functions).
