--- Comment #5 from Jan Beich <jbeich at FreeBSD.org> ---
I plan to land this shortly after 2018Q4 branches. Mesa itself needs newer LLVM
in order to support recent (mainly AMD) hardware better.

llvm60 is unlikely to receive upstream backports now that llvm70 is stable.
Projects that support more than one stable branch are actually rare due to
tremendous waste of resources. Even Mesa quickly sunsets previous branch after
X.Y.1 release.
