That’s great, I wasn’t aware of the #llvm-build channel. 

If we already have a dedicated #llvm-build channel, IMO it would make sense to remove llvmbb from the main channel, to cut down on the noise. It does not seem to add much because the false-positive rate is high and people who are interested can use #llvm-build.
