You mean it's still development quality? I thought it has been considered released for a while already.
I believe it also still depends on a fork of llvm, which distributions may not want to incorporate.

It is not going to be anytime soon, that the official llvm and the driver forks converge; even when the changes are being merged for the next release, when that comes out, it will be hopelessly obsolete.
The distributions will have accept that there will be multiple forks shipping, at least for foreseable future. AMDVLK, ROCm, Swift and Rust need their forks. Only some packages, like Mesa or Kotlin-native are able to run with upstream llvm.

The most exciting thing about this release to me is the multi GPU support. I would really like to see benchmarks done with multiple GPUs in a system to see how well that feature scales. I think this doesn't need any SLI or Crossfire to work, too.
Though I guess this is just academic interest as graphics cards are much too expensive for me to justify the purchase.

Will AMD ever stop fiddling around with its 3 half-baked copies of the same thing and just make Mesa/LLVM function-complete for any of its cards ? They better off replacing their Windows abomination with it too. And drop artificial market division and just sell few purpose-based non-overclocked (for TDP 100-200W) models for 5 years long generations. Like "workstation" (WX 9100), "render-farm", "consumer" (Vega 64) and "miser" (Raven Ridge). Otherwise developers always have to target lowest and shittiest model while power of the proper ones goes underutilized.
