[llvm-dev] [cfe-dev] State of NaCl in monorepo?

[Chris Lattner via llvm-dev]

My understanding is that the project is not active, if that is true, then there doesn’t seem like a strong reason to keep support for it in ToT LLVM.

That said, please give this a week or two for people to object - I’d also suggest poking some of the NaCl people at Google if you haven’t already,
