Renato,
      In the fink project (http://finkproject.org), we have maintained
llvm packaging for each new release for awhile now...

http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.7/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/llvm35.info?revision=1.3

Since the completion of the merge of clang-omp support always seems to
be one release away, starting with the 3.4.2 release I added a merge
of the clang-omp changes from upstream to our packaging so that we
have fully functional libiomp5 support. Assuming that the clang-omp
developers can find time to rebase their upstream tree on the new 3.6
release, I intend to do the same for the fink llvm36 packaging. So
yes, a stable compiler does matter to some folks.
          Jack
