It is still possible in theory for this feature to make clang-18, as the
release/18.x branch is not scheduled to be cut until the fourth Tuesday
in January, which is two weeks from now. I don't have a good feeling for
how close that pull request is to being mergeable though, so this is
fine for now. I assume this won't go to Linus immediately so we would
have time to change it if necessary.

The link change is obviously good.

I should probably go through and try to update all the other
review.llvm.org links to GitHub as well...
