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

Well, we have updated LLVM to next major version even before
mid-cycle. Since it is important for graphics stack. Compatibility
package was always created. On the other hand, it requires proper
coordination with other package maintainers.

tl;dr I think it is fine to do rebase before F31 Final, but it should
have been communicated properly and not just building package and
submitting update/override.
