`fir-opt` has the exact same purpose than `mlir-opt` and just include the dialects that are specific to flang. If you don't have an issue with `mlir-opt` then there should not be one with `fir-opt`.

Policy that comes from where?

Well it's an llvm executable and they are all installed. Like all the `mlir-xxx` tools. It might be useful for some users to be able to execute flang passes with such a tool but I see it more as a dev tools than a lambda user tool. 

I'm still confused of what you are trying to solve if you don't have any error. Can you describe your process and where exactly it poses a problem?
