I agree, but @gasche brings up real points in https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369#issuecomment-35565.... In particular I found these important:

- Copyright issues. Even among LLM-generated code, this PR is particularly suspicious, because some files begin with the comment “created by [someone’s name]”

- No proposal. Maybe the feature isn’t useful enough to be worth the tech debt, maybe the design doesn’t follow conventions and/or adds too much tech debt

- Not enough tests

- The PR is overwhelmingly big, too big for the small core team that maintains OCaml

- People are already working on this. They’ve brainstormed the design, they’re breaking the task into smaller reviewable parts, and the code they write is trusted more than LLM-generated code

Later, @bluddy mentions a design issue: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369#issuecomment-35568...
