OK, we're most likely sitting out on LLVM 2.9 for F-15 final: OpenGTL is 
hard-coded to work only with LLVM 2.8 (and they hard-coded their 
previous releases too), and ldc also does not build. pure is the only 
dependent package we can expect to rebuild before 2.9 final lands.

OpenGTK & ldc maintainers, could you ping upstream and see if they have 
an ETA for LLVM 2.9 support?

We might still release these as a post-release update, like how KDE 
releases are sometimes done, so we should try and get a working LLVM 
2.9-based stack in Rawhide as soon as possible.

Thanks,
