I like slotted LLVM (and GCC) and always find it an advantage over other |
| 5 |
distributions where it is not so easy to install multiple versions of |
| 6 |
LLVM (and GCC). It would be unfortunate to see this go. I also can not |
| 7 |
remember when I last had problems with simultaneously installed LLVM |
| 8 |
versions as a user. |

Furthermore, un-slotting LLVM would mean that |
| 11 |
dev-util/include-what-you-use (IWYU) users are bound to the LLVM version |
| 12 |
used by IWYU. Which, in turn, means that they are also bound to the |
| 13 |
corresponding clang-tidy version. Sure, this is nothing that can not be |
| 14 |
solved by manual user intervention, e.g., users manually installing a |
| 15 |
newer clang-tidy version. But still, it would not be as easy and |
| 16 |
convenient as before. |

That said, I think it's mostly, if not wholly, up to the maintainer. And |
| 19 |
since you already do a lot of Gentoo work, it may also be a win if we |
| 20 |
reduce your LLVM workload. |
