[LLVMdev] Downstream distributions as first class citizens in the LLVM repository

["C. Bergström"]

<snip />

May I just add a few points

1) Won't get rid of forks - ever.. forget it
2) Branches are "free" - having a single branch for dumping things is 
unlikely to suit the needs of all the work by everyone
3) Having things consolidated in one more or less easy to find place is 
better than all over the damn place.
------------
I'd vote to give FBSD and anyone "reasonable" a branch to contribute 
whatever they feel is worth it. Assuming FreeBSD agrees to keep this 
"upstream" branch in align with whatever they have in the ports tree - 
it makes the patches they are carrying a lot more visible and 
/potentially/ easier for keeping in sync with upstream.

Can anyone from NetBSD or FreeBSD chime in on this - would it be a 
reasonable request for ports + the branch to stay in sync?
