[llvm-dev] [PROPOSAL] Add Bazel Build Configuration to the LLVM Monorepo

[Geoffrey Martin-Noble via llvm-dev]

A reminder that the review period for this ends 2021-02-23, this coming
Tuesday. Rest assured that if you expressed opinions in the previous RFC
threads then review managers will also consider those points when
discussing. We're not going to skip some point just because it wasn't
posted in the correct thread :-D

Best,
Geoffrey
