<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">The AVR backend has now finally been merged in-tree completely.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Thanks to Krzysztof and Matt for all of their hard work reviewing <a href="https://reviews.llvm.org/differential/query/AuHaJ3SXjDmO">patches</a></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Development will now halt on the downstream repository (on <a href="https://github.com/avr-llvm/llvm">GitHub</a>), and it will now be done LLVM proper.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">This is good news, especially for the embedded Rust community, as it will be much easier to maintain it now.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.2em!important">Next steps</p>
<ul style="margin:1.2em 0px;padding-left:2em">
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">A buildbot will be added for the backend</li>
<li style="margin:0.5em 0px">Support will be added to clang to support the backend (if it is desired)</li>
