Major update to LLVM appearing in F31 without any communication, appears to violate update policy

We are currently in the "Beta to Pre Release" phase of the release
cycle. The updates policy for this phase - 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Beta_to_Pre_Release -
says:

"From this point onwards maintainers MUST[1]:

    Avoid Major version updates, ABI breakage or API changes if at all
possible."

However, it seems a major new release of LLVM is appearing in F31 at
present, and AFAIK there has been no discussion or communication about
this at all.

LLVM 9 is currently in the buildroot, and an update with a very short
description has been submitted:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-b83bd6b46c

(it just says "Update for LLVM 9 rebase.", which is odd since it *is*
the LLVM 9 rebase).

There is no Change for this, I can't find a mail about it anywhere,
it's just been sort of dumped in. Is there enough grounds for dumping
in a major new LLVM and violating the update policy at this point in
the F31 release?
