... or of course closer to the end of the cycle if that's what people
prefer for some reason, I don't mind too much as long as it happens.

I added this to the commitfest app, and it promptly failed for cfbot.
That's expected: CI is still using Debian 11 "bullseye", which only
has LLVM 11. It became what Debian calls "oldstable" last year, and
reaches the end of oldstable in a couple of months from now. Debian
12 "bookworm" is the current stable release, and it has LLVM 14, so we
should probably go and update those CI images...
