I have no objection.

Or, an alternative is to specify the constraints in OPAM such that an older interface that hasn't changed would be included in the constraint, and hence not trigger an upgrade unless required.

The first solution seems fine to me.  For the second one all the
packages would still be rebuilt by "opam upgrade"?
