I think this has missed the feature freeze for 4.02.

According to Github, this has been merged to trunk. @gasche: can you confirm and close the ticket?

Yeah, git log -u -S caml_alloc_dummy_function shows that this was trunk@15592 in November 2014. This is not in the 4.02 branch -- so not in the last minor release.
