It's more about not flooding the rawhide reports with a sea of OCaml
broken dep emails.  That decreases readability for others looking for
things they can fix.  (Aside from the primary concern of just wanting
to get OCaml fixed too.)

In the future, a dist-f11-ocaml (or similar) tag would be great for
things like this.  You can introduce the new OCaml there fixup the
majority of packages, and then bring it into rawhide.  This was done
in part for python 2.6.
