I’m aware they maintain forks and patches for many packages. However development resources are always precious! Now openbsd needs to devote them to backporting from rapidly evolving llvm. Effort that could have been spent elsewhere.
Also note that backporting may be unfeasible in some cases I’m guessing because changes to latest llvm/clang may be under the new unacceptable license. Openbsd might need to make their own modifications.
I’m not making a value judgement whether it was good or not to not accept new llvm license. Just making an observation that this is going to be a drag on the project.
