That's what I thought.  I can see the point of providing a working
LLVM binary for third-party developers to use on their own code, but
not the point of using it to make release builds of Haiku itself until
there is a working C++ front end.

Some of the POSIX command-line tools could benefit from it, as many of
them are written in C, but I don't think any of them would impact
performance much.

On the other hand, I know there is an effort afoot to produce that C++
front end.  Someone would do well to keep tabs on it, to ensure that
it will support Haiku once it's ready for production use.
