    LLVM will have big impact for FOSS, so this is a good thing. It and Mesa will grow together.

      I have yet to detect any dependency of the Intel classic driver on LLVM. I'm perfectly fine with it if they decide to make it a dependency, but I don't see it actually implemented as such right now.

      Can the Intel classic driver (i.e., currently the most stable and feature-complete driver for Intel chips on Linux) even use LLVM? Or does it forego it because it doesn't need to deal with TGSI in a world without Gallium?
