The guy who took this work over in 2017, Xiang Leslie ZHAI, has a llvm.org.=
cn email address.  I don't know the criteria needed to be that degree of of=
ficially connected with LLVM, but his work appears to have some degree of o=
fficialness from LLVM organization itself.  That is a good sign.

This fork of DragonEgg supports various releases of GCC (except conspicuous=
ly skipping 7.X and going on to 8.0), probably focusing on C and C++, ignor=
ing Ada.  But (assuming that it works), it is good to have any amount of ma=
intenance on the old DragonEgg to keep it at all current (even partially). =
 It is easier for someone among us in Ada world to test & maintain the Ada =
support on this fork of DragonEgg then, instead of going back 7 years ourse=
lves.

No contributions since October 2017 though.  That is a bad sign.
