Comment (by jeremyhu@…):

 > Pure certainly isn't dead

 Sorry if I wasn't clear.  I wasn't saying that all the ports are dead and
 should be removed, just that some are likely in that camp (eg: py-llvmpy
 as mentioned above).

 Don't worry, I do not intend to remove llvm-3.5 unless there are no
 dependents.

 My thoughts on the older versions we still have around:

   * 3.3 - Needed for bootstrapping on Leopard.  We should limit our
 dependency elsewhere.
   * 3.4 - A very solid release and the last one that works with libstdc++
 (needed to bootstrap later versions).  It will be around for quite some
 time.
   * 3.5 - codegen issues on i386 make me not trust this version very much.
 I'd like to remove it eventually (but it is not pressing)
   * 3.6 - A decent release, but there's not much of a need for it given
 the quality of later versions.
   * 3.7 - The last release using autoconf.  It'll be good to keep this one
 around as a point of reference for build system related regressions.  It's
 also a high quality release.
