This one is packaged by AMD for at least Ubuntu and Debian, you can get it on Arch as well.
It is, however, true that ROCm should be shipped with the distributions. They say they are working on it.

To be able to download a package and have openCL support in distro of choice would be nice, 6800xt is of no use in things like F@H atm moment. Having said that neither is my VII with rocm using manjaro.

ROCm would be important if AMD would decide to focus a little bit more on the consumer market, otherwise it's completely useless in its current state.

Rocm is extremely important, as it allows easy porting of cuda applications which is the de facto standard for gpgpu. Hip is the future, opencl is annoying to work with

Rocm is important for datacenter applications, but for the home market is has almost zero usability,
Clover there is what we need..
Even Nvidia is releasing OpenCL3.0 on pcie>=1.1,
While to run Rocm you need pcie3.0 with cpie atomic operations supported by motherboard/cpu
Clover is the way for the home market..

The main source of the confusion was, that multiple teams are working on ROCm - a GUI stuff team and the server/compute team. The git repo which closed issues was from the compute team, it would seem. This is their mainline. The GUI team, which tests blender and Co, works with internal forks.
