Parent article: [fedora-arm] totally crap llvm nonsense patch

It used to be hard to tell whether someone hated (or loved) LLVM because of something actually in LLVM, or just because it's (nominally) coded in C++. Now that Gcc is officially (if also nominally) coded in C++, we may observe who newly hates both, and draw our conclusions. Note that some already hated both, so we can't tell anything new about them -- although many of us hold opinions already. In principle a similar proviso applies to those who already loved both, or do now, but that has no practical application.
