<p>This document collects information about successfully releasing LLVM to the
public. It is the release manager's guide to ensuring that a high quality build
of LLVM is released. Mostly, its just a bunch of reminders of things to do at
release time so we don't inadvertently ship something that is utility
deficient.</p>
