Because we really want it in F12, to make e.g. systemtap usable. It got quite a lot of testing already and has been in development for 2 years. Originally it was expected to be merged early in the summer, testing rawhide gccs have been prepared already in early August. There were so far 3 bugreports related to this, 2 of them are already fixed, LLVM build is just needing too much memory on completely insane source (people calling functions with 1375 arguments, 685 out of it are classes with non-trivial ctors passed by value, deserve some punishment) and Alex will look at it today.
