Could you provide more information on what changes/fixes you need from upstream? By looking at the slides I see that you mention http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=4034 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6120
Are both equally important? Is it easy to workaround not having them, or a deal-breaker for your work? Which other upstream issues would you need solved?
