Even more than that, it's not only frontends that are interested :)

The AMDGPU backend is used to compile SPIR-V into machine code, and this 
comes with occasional pains due to subtle semantics mismatches. My hope 
would be that getting a better alignment of SPIR-V and LLVM would reduce 
those pains.
