Well, it really depends on how Fedora's and Julia's schedules interact in the
future. With some luck, when a new Fedora release goes out, Julia will happen
to use the latest LLVM version, and we won't need a versioned llvm package. But
OTOH when backporting a new LLVM version to a published Fedora release, it's
likely that Julia will break as there will likely be some lag between LLVM's
and Julia's releases. With an unstable API like LLVM's, versioned
parallel-installable packages are kind of inevitable.

> Does Julia upstream have any plans to move to llvm-3.4 btw?
Yes, the next version will use LLVM 3.5. (Support for 3.4 is almost present
already, but there are a few bugs and it has not been tested thoroughly enough
that the developers feel confident to use it now.)
