FWIW, I agree with Tanya on this.  People *pound* on the demo page 
immediately after a release as they try it out and see what LLVM can do to 
their code.  Risking instability in the demo page just isn't worth it 
right after the release.  I agree that having an llvm2cpp option on it is 
great, but it shouldn't be a problem to wait a week or two.  Is that 
reasonable Reid?
