## Discussion

* https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/pull/1098 - bugfix
* llvmlite / Numba RC status
* when to "retire" expired deprecation notices
    * Keep deprecation notice for version of release and one subsequent release
    * Remove deprecation notices for releases more than 1 release back.
        * e.g. generated_jit removed in 0.59, delete deprecation notice in 0.61 docs
* Hows opaque pointers + numba looking ?
    * Generally works well - Numba test suite passes
    * CUDA target is one issue, requires NVPTX support
        * WIP, getting to 100% test coverage
        * Going into Numba and numba-cuda
    * Other issue is test suite - some subprocess tests using typed pointers
        * Need to troubleshoot this, not looked far into yet
* conda-forge llvmlite RC: https://github.com/conda-forge/llvmlite-feedstock/pull/95
    * All builds succeeded, apart from Python 3.9 ones (which should be removed)
