Yes, this will not be merged, because the LLVM 22 release cycle has closed and 
there will be no further releases. This is not a value judgement on the 
importance of this issue, just a consequence of the release cycle. For issues 
found after the upstream release goes EOL, backporting at the distro level is 
indeed the right thing to do. In Fedora we usually accumulate a handful of 
additional backports after upstream EOL (for LLVM in general -- I can't recall 
an instance of us having to backport a libclc patch.)

We probably should consider slightly extending the release cycle, to better 
bridge the gap between two releases. I believe the last time this happened was 
in 
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-distribute-patch-releases-over-lifecycle-of-an-llvm-version/80955,
 which extended the maintenance window by 6 weeks.
