Makes sense.

I think, it is a good idea to have clean separation and avoid adding
suffix. In
today's internet age, dots between 'Foo' and LLVM are connected
immediately.
People will know that Foo was formerly known as LLVM. Plus as soon as
they
read/learn about 'Foo' they will realize that it uses IR named LLVM :)
