And to get back to the original question.

This is not a problem for VSI.

There are so much support behind LLVM today.

Most of the big players have a strong interest in keeping
LLVM around and well.

I guessed that LLVM would ask Apple for help. But they
could also ask Google or Intel or several other B$ companies.
Or they could ask multiple of them for help.

It is not a VSI problem.

I will also guess that LLVM will not ask VSI for help!  :-)

Money matters.

Whether something is good or bad, has just a few problems or
lots of problems - if there is sufficient money behind it
then solutions will be found.
