Wouldn't hold my breath

Progress + report on OCaml multicore has been exceptionally well done for many months [0]? Quite big piece of work, impressive to see it materialising as general public availablity. I wouldn't be worried about higher level abstrations at this stage. Well done runtime part is the most important now.
