I will assume any VMS specific changes to LLVM will
eventually make it back to upstream LLVM project - it
makes sense for VSI to avoid having to merge those
changes every time they take a new version.

And as stated in another thread then I would love to
see VSI put all their open source usage in public
Github repo's.

But VMS LLVM is rather old (if I remember correctly then it
is, because it had to be build on Itanium with VMS C++
for cross compilers).

So I would rephrase the question as:

can VSI say whether they want to:
   1) make VMS LLVM code available
   2) upgrade LLVM
or:
   1) upgrade LLVM
   2) make VMS LLVM code available
?
