It is important to mention that the "decision" (as I understood it) was about the discussion itself going nowhere, not about settling on the state and goals of lld itself as a LLVM project. The current state of the discussion is AFAIK that multiple members of the community feeling strongly against the current way, and the (non-MachO) lld developers moved on with their way despite this opposition.
