Do you know why it's a fork? Als, from this https://github.com/ROCm/llvm-project/commits/amd-staging/ it looks like it might be more appropriately called a staging branch than a fork.

    Various reasons, like embargoes on information, stuff we didn't want to wait for review on before shipping, or features that don't make sense for upstream like `hipcc` which is an `nvcc` wrapper.

    Our goal is to get most modifications not in the third category into upstream at some point which makes the maintenance load bearable.

I should have qualified: it's hard to do for an individual or very small team as a passion side-project. It's pretty time consuming to keep up with the rate of change in LLVM.
