I do.

My biggest problem with libcapstone is that it doesn't have an automated way to
merge from upstream llvm, so it doesn't get any new architecture updates.

What I think we should do is drop libcapstone entirely, and use libllvm
directly.  It's a bit more code to use, but llvm is where new architectures
(and architecture extensions) get merged.

A mere matter of coding...
