> In an ideal world, we'd merge all the binary tools (GNU and LLVM) into a single tool, or redistribute functionality somehow, so that we don't have duplicate functionality like we already do. This takes us further away from that ideal.

I'm confused by this statement in particular. If the goal is to just have one tool, why did LLVM start re-implementing these tools to begin with? Wasn't the first commit of "llvm-objdump"/"llvm-readobj" a massive step away from the ideal?
