This is confusing enough for native English speakers; more confusing for
those whose native language is not English.   Debian calls llvm "Modular
compiler and toolchain technologies".   Wikipedia also uses this
description,
and says "The name *LLVM* was originally an initialism
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialism> for
*Low Level *
*Virtual Machine*."

Fedora packagers should not be propagating an outdated and potentially
misleading description.
