I think this was driven by patches not being accepted yet -

Actually, it's not the 1st time something like this has happened, but 
Alp was clever enough to pick a good domain. Intel for example was/is 
forced to push patches and external fork for the OpenMP work on an 
external domain before the process of upstreaming.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil... Hopefully the full set of patches 
which haven't been upstreamed can be resolved.

I don't know if there's a perfect answer/solution to this. My best guess 
would be an "experimental" branch(es) and "experimental" labeled 
binaries which the "community" can somehow publish more easily.

Sorry, but why is everyone so upset about this? Every distro adds 
patches to their "clang" and it's not blessed or "official". Alp is 
clearly not being hostile, negative and if his work allows people to 
test the patches before integration +1.

Please don't discourage it publicly - Productive/passionate people who 
care enough to take positive action - that's a great thing. This is 
noise for a development list - working with him privately may also have 
a more personal "feel".
