I think every non-toy frontend for LLVM probably uses the AttrBuilder API to 
construct attributes, so it's a pretty broad impact. However, I don't see a 
good way around it, and I think the improvements to string attribute handling 
are worth taking the API break.

I will say that the Google was recently affected by the opaque pointer 
IRBuilder API removal (rG89eb85ac6ea 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/rG89eb85ac6eab6431ef72ef705d560c72c5ed71f3>), and the 
ability to pre-migrate code to the new API was very valuable. At least in our 
usage, where we progressively pick new LLVM versions, it would be helpful to 
land a no-op AttrBuilder constructor that takes and ignores an LLVMContext. I 
don't know how common that usage model is for others.
