I.e. make sure to update your llvm/clang now.

We tried this in the past and it resulted in us spending a lot of time dealing with upstream churn and not working on swift. To work around this problem, we now build against stable snapshots of LLVM/Clang that are updated as soon as possible given a minimum break of 2-3 weeks in between such updates (1).
