Hmmm, yeah good point. I had interpreted it as "latest LLVM version" not
"latest LLVM stable version of the corresponding major version". I guess
I had figured CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE would help prevent any
problems and most users would probably prefer the latest version of each
tool, rather than the compatible ones, which are still available. I will
work on a wording update there (or just revert back to 21.1.8 for those
until Rust has LLVM 22 merged).

Cheers,
