In the near term Adam's patch profiling should be checked into llvm/trunk. I think it's important that it live on the same tree as the current llvm profilers with which it's tightly integrated. As we work toward implementing Bob's profiling proposal, it will either need to be integrated with the new framework or it will be removed along with the other stale profilers. Even if it's removed from trunk, the original implementation will still be available in working condition from subversion. We should be able to maintain a reference to it in the latest source or docs.
