This will certainly be of use to the xapi project - we're currently using a mixture of our own docker images and the ocaml-ci-scripts for our testing on Travis, but I'd feel more comfortable moving towards a more standardised set of images. There are probably some minor adaptions we'd need to make, as for a few of our repos the tests involve building RPMs, but this is mainly for our daemons. The more generic libraries we're working on should be testable just using opam, and a larger set of distros/ocaml versions to test with would be quite reassuring.
