Changing to python will also break for people that compiled math, update without reading the release notes and don't have python.
While this is ofcourse possible, how big is the chance that somebody will have ocaml but not python?
My point is, we shouldn't strive so much for backwards compatibility. It's possible, but extremely unlikely.

Fedora Linux has ocaml for ages. yum install ocaml or something like that. Compiling texvc is fast and easy - never had any problems. Since ocaml was developed in France, chances are bigger that it has wider spread over there. Dmitriy
Note that people installing mediawiki from packages will be using something like mediawiki-math package, and upgrade would be transparent for them.
