We do this.

Upgrading LLVM requires a little bit of extra work, since it requires us to
perform all of our QA tests across various platforms, packaging it and
dealing with any major changes in the API, behavior, code generation and
packaging.

But it is something that we do every once in a while.   We are in fact
considering doing a new upgrade about now.

I did not really understand the above question.
