"Making a fuss" isn't quite a fair characterization. I'm simply asking important questions that should always be asked. Maybe the answer to those questions is, "keep what we have." That's fine. What's not fine is never asking the questions.

An LLVM backend for Sparse

so let's turn it around

Sparse is older the CLAN, shouldn't the CLANG people now disband and move over to Sparse?

while it is always good to spot duplication, the extent of your posts (bordering on harassment) complaining that an older project should not exist because it now added a feature that makes it sound like it's overlapping a newer project is far from being reasonable.
