Also (using AMDGPU and AArch64 as recent examples), we tend to add new backends as experimental then move them to ALL_TARGETS after some period of time.

See http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120827/149491.html <http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120827/149491.html> for example.  I can’t find the original ‘experimental targets’ email for the concept itself unfortunately.

Thanks,
Pete
