OCaml outside Xen has moved to a different model of building based on dune which is fast, declarative and reliable. The OCaml xenstore is stagnating because nobody with OCaml experience wants to touch it anymore. It would be beneficial for the health of the OCaml xenstore to split it out such that it could be worked on independently. You might argue that Make is still appropriate for building OCaml projects but the OCaml community has moved through several build systems, starting from Make, and learned the hard way that this is not an easy problem. After years of more-or-less successful build system the consensus is that dune is right one and it has resulted in combination with the Opam package manager the ecosystem to flourish. Alternatively, it would be possible to move OCaml xenstore to dune within the Xen tree but it would create a dependency on it. -- C
