And suggest to do the same for distribution packages? It would make the life of other projects easier if they could just call "ocamlc" without having to check if "ocamlc.opt" is available or not.

The only reason I'm aware of for not exclusively using the native code version of tools is for camlp4 -- most extensions don't package up .cmxs files for Natdynlink. It should be safe to swap just the compiler binaries.
I'll run a regression test on OPAM with this divert in place to see if anything new breaks (after the current 4.01.0RC2 runs are done and triaged, that is).
