Bug 239682 was filed ~1.5 months ago. It was part of my dogfood: tested
via poudriere on all release/architecture tuples. Only x11@ wasn't ready.
I'm happy to kick x11@ from LLVM_DEFAULT train per the promise in bug 23078=
9.

The time of landing was planned in advance. 1 week is enough to fix
loose ends in ports/. /quarterly branches are not frozen, regression
fixes can be backported if necessary. And I'm not running away from
regressions. It's the same workflow I use when updating ports with
hundreds of consumers e.g., boost, ffmpeg, icu.

As for "social aspects" I'm not a friend but a fellow contributor.
Document rules/policies properly. If one relies on stuff discussed
behind closed doors it's no different from hazing i.e., doesn't belong
in an open project.
