This should be the sort of red flag to take note of. There’s an LLVM fork for every esoteric architecture now and this sort of thinking will lead to never being able to run your own software on your own hardware again. A reversion to the dark ages of computing.

Can you provide examples of these? I'm aware of temporary forks for things like Xtensa, but these typically get merged back upstream.
