We want to use what fits the project best. Gerrit is a great tool for
a lot of use cases, unfortunately it doesn't fit the clang/llvm
workflow well. Of course I looked into Gerrit / Rietveld etc, but all
of them have serious downsides that seem a lot harder to fix.
Phabricator is the first one that actually looks like it comes close
to what clang/llvm would need (and even there we're not sure yet).
