Hello, First, thanks for asking and I apologize for not communicating more on this.

My target is to have 2 versions for the next release. Realistically, because of all the use cases (ex: ghc), it is hard to have all packages focusing only one version of llvm. Currently, I am clearly failing at this. ;) LLVM upstream is going through some significant changes in term of build systems. I have been focusing on bringing 12 & 13 at this level (they both have failures currently). Once they are green, I will work on the transition to 12 or (probably?) 13 and the removal of the older. Hope this is clear, Cheers Sylvestre
