digitalmars.D.ldc - Releasing LTS 0.17.6 ?

Hi all,
   Shall we release ldc-lts 0.17.6, such that the bootstrapping 
process works with LLVM 6?
I know there is work ongoing on the LTS branch, but its main 
purpose is bootstrapping and for that we only need it to be able 
to compile LDC, so the extra work shouldn't delay a 0.17.6 
release.
For example, currently homebrew is stuck using LLVM5 because of 
LTS not building with LLVM6.

cheers,

Sounds good, I just updated it to include my latest Android and 
AArch64 stdlib fixes.
