Apologies @thakis - did I jump the gun? And if so, what could I have done 
differently?

Interesting, I had missed that conversation! Google and DDG fail to find it for 
me even quoting sentences out of it. Found it by wgetting the gzip mailing list 
archives and grepping them - is there a better way? :)

That conversation was in 2012, and since then flang has been accepted as a 
subproject to LLVM in "[llvm-dev] f18 is accepted as part of LLVM project! 
<http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-April/131703.html>". Since the 
acceptance, the project has renamed to flang, and is in the process of actively 
being integrated into the llvm project.

As discussed in the RFC, I understand that libclangDriver was always intended 
to be a flexible driver used by other frontends, so in light of that, does the 
change still seem unreasonable? My expectation is that the footprint of fortran 
on libclangDriver should only be quite modest.
