I've stated my personal preference already. Let me add an observation on top of that: even if the core committers in general might only give a luke-warm welcome to llvm usage in the trunk - once it actually is accepted and committed to the trunk, they will certainly start supporting it. I would view it as similar to cyclic garbage collection: when this was first proposed, I wondered myself "who would need that". When it then was added, I started looking at how it actually works, and liked the implementation approach very much. People, including myself, then started fixing remaining types to support GC over the next year, and would consider it a bug if it didn't work - whether they were initially pro or con addition of GC.
