Even though "if ever" sounds a little bit pessimistic, I agree.

Unfortunately I'm busy working on other things the last couple of
weeks/months, but the biggest problem with LLVM/Clang right now is that
the latest release on the website is practically useless to us.  I've
been tracking SVN, but each time I decide to upgrade sources, I get yet
another regression, which means I have to file bug reports. I think I
already filed 50-60 bug reports.

For some reason there has been a lot of talking, but no hacking. It
takes a lot of work to maintain ClangBSD, at least more than I'm willing
to spend on it right now.
