  OTOH llvm 2.x is not backward compatible with the 1.x series, and
comes some brand new tools, meaning that such a package will go through
NEW and stuff like that anyways.

  It _is_ a brand new package on many aspects. It's unclear to me if
llvm should continue to exist in the archive or not, but I disagree with
the fact that an ITP is an overkill.
