Please keep the discussion on the llvm developer mailing list professional,
polite, and technical.

If you have use cases that LLVM is failing to address due to supporting
multithreaded operational environments or platforms like Windows, please
let us know (but a separate thread would be more appropriate than this
thread).

However, unless you are helping maintain LLVM, it doesn't seem reasonable
to argue that the people who are maintaining it shouldn't spend their time
maintaining and supporting whatever platforms, threading models, or other
environments they care about.
