That is similar to the proposal we have, except that llvm-projects
will have sub-modules.

Having all of them in the same physical repository is a big problems
for those that only use a small subset of the components, which is the
vast majority of users, most of the time (all buildbots, Jenkins,
local development, downstream users, even releases don't clone all
repos).
