[llvm-dev] [PROPOSAL] Introduce a new LLVM process to resolve contentious decisions

[Chris Lattner via llvm-dev]

Thank you to Mehdi and Kit for their feedback on this thread so far - I’d really love to hear from others in the community as well, even if it is a simple “+1 this sounds great” or “I’m concerned about XYZ specific aspect of this” or “-1, LLVM has no problems making decisions” :-)

I’ve put together a proposal for how this works, and am recursively using it to get feedback on the process itself.
