> Hi @Maskray, apologies for the wait in this review. I think James brought up a good point regarding gnu ar still using `T`.  I realise that when moving towards consistency someone has to go first, but it maybe worth us waiting until they make the change so we maintain compatibility. Do we know if they have plans to move over to `--thin`?

Their `-T` has been deprecated. The problem is whether any project is using `T`. These projects cannot straightforwardly migrate if `llvm-ar` does not have `T`.
The `T` problem may also be the reason that other implementations cannot change their `T`.

I think GNU ar `T` for thin may be removed, but that may take several years...
