I'm ok with deleting the intermediate ports, but we should indeed keep anything that is required for Compcert in the ports tree. It's very useful to have a binary package of it. As for utop, I'd be happy just installing that through OPAM. You typically also need to install libraries with utop to make it useful, and that's difficult to do with a system OCaml and a port-installed OPAM (it can use the system compiler fine, but libraries must be managed all through opam or not at all).
