Our goal is not to compete with INRIA's distribution, but to improve it (so, everything that OCamlPro does will be submitted for inclusion in the mainstream distribution), and to package it more often, providing/including bug fixes faster, with a high quality testing process before each release, that fits the need of industrial users for stability. --Fabrice
