[llvm-dev] Using the Yocto Project for Upstream Testing

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

Ah, OK - thanks for clarifying. So the long and the short of it is that the
LLVM project may receive bugs filed from this new source. Fair enough - so
long as they've got good (ideally small, portable, etc) reproduction steps,
hopefully they'll be actionable/someone can prioritize the fix for them.
