One could switch to llvm60 or llvm70 as a workaround but those will be removed in future. And if switched users would still complain why www/seamonkey needs to pull yet another llvm* package. > Will we get it back some day ? Depends on upstream. If SeaMonkey fails to adopt ESR68 in a year or less then no, it's not worth the effort to maintain perma-vulnerable package. And if it succeeds then gecko@ may not be the best maintainer.
