Who's "we"?

Anyway, LLVM *isn't* mature, and it probably won't be for years, if
ever, so there's no point in asking.  If it ever reaches a point where
it covers our needs, and it's still under an acceptable license, and
somebody sits down and does the work and assumes the responsibility, and
portsmgr@ doesn't have a conniption because it breaks half the ports
tree, and core@ approves, and a majority of developers approve,
including those who think we should run with pcc instead but can't be
arsed to do the work, then maybe.  At this point, speculating about it
is just a waste of time and electrons.
