Well, we have updated LLVM to next major version even before mid-cycle. Since it is important for graphics stack. Compatibility package was always created. On the other hand, it requires proper coordination with other package maintainers.
tl;dr I think it is fine to do rebase before F31 Final, but it should have been communicated properly and not just building package and submitting update/override.
