Please make classic Flang to co-exist with LLVM's in-tree Flang

In order for this project to ever be useful and accepted by the community, you have to develop a way to integrate it into LLVM toolchain in a non-destructive way.

The idea of planting classic Flang into LLVM toolchain by breaking another Flang project LLVM has is amazingly bad. Why not to break the clang as well? Only by recognizing the importance of others' efforts you get recognized, this is a basic rule. Why do you think you can come and slash another project in favor of yours? The answer is: you don't care, because the downstream vendor releases is the only thing you are interesting in. Please be more thoughtful than narrow corporate goals, you need this for yourself: looking back at your own work, you need to find it meaningful.

As long as this is an opensource project, LLVM and Flang are not your personal toys. Please adjust your decision making to add, not to break things.
