Yeah, but C does have a standard library, so let's not overplay the value of fragmentation. Let's ask instead: is there any OCaml library that right now, should uncontroversially be part of a standard? If not, a collection of 2 or 3 candidate libraries that should be groomed for standard? I liked Ben's comment about how the Linux people handle it, this notion of an interim period of deciding what's adviseable to keep.
