You can vote for anything you like! :)

-ccc is fundamentally different from -Xclang, the -ccc options are
options to the *driver* itself (a subtle, but real, distinction).
Since they aren't intended to be used for non-clang-developers, I
don't see much reason to care what they are named. For -ccc- options
which provide useful features, we should figure out the right way to
make them part of the normal driver functionality (for example, adding
-triple).
