Re: LLVM Packaging Ideas for Fedora 41

    Similarly, python-llvmlite requires llvm14, and the upcoming
      upstream release will require llvm15 (with a medium-term plan to
      get to llvm17). For complex projects that are tightly coupled to
      the LLVM implementation like this, there is generally *absolutely
      nothing* that downstream packagers can do to get upstream support
      for current LLVM releases to happen faster. This is a
      well-maintained and responsive package that is, among other
      things, the basis of the JIT implementation for the very popular
      numba package, https://numba.pydata.org/.

            My point is that we can spent time maintaining llvm00 -
            llvm99 packages 

            or we can spent time adjusting upstream projects to be
            compatible with 

            the latest llvm.

          
          There are many projects that require a fair amount of
            work to be ported to newer llvm versions, take intel-igc for
            example ( https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler
            ) where there is now more than a year long process to slowly
            get it to llvm 16 (yeah, that's not a typo).
