> Also, this change did not really acheive it's purpose of allowing apps to use newer versions of libclang.so without rebuilding, because a new version of libclang.so requires a new version of libLLVM.so, which does not have a stable ABI.

Could you elaborate on this? If an application uses only `libclang.so`, and that is updated to a newer version using a newer `libLLVM.so`, why would the application need to be rebuilt? Isn't the C API self-contained?

It was a bit tough to decouple `libclang.so` packaging-wise, but we released it like that already and reverting now seems to just obsolete efforts that had already happened.
