Similarly, python-llvmlite requires llvm14, and the upcoming upstream release will require llvm15 (with a medium-term plan to get to llvm17). For complex projects that are tightly coupled to the LLVM implementation like this, there is generally *absolutely nothing* that downstream packagers can do to get upstream support for current LLVM releases to happen faster. This is a well-maintained and responsive package that is, among other things, the basis of the JIT implementation for the very popular numba package, https://numba.pydata.org/.

There are many projects that require a fair amount of work to be ported to newer llvm versions, take intel-igc for example ( https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler ) where there is now more than a year long process to slowly get it to llvm 16 (yeah, that's not a typo).
