I see.  I assumed that immediate update still happened.  I see my 
changes propagated now.

Agreed.  I have a student that might be interested.  I'll check and see.

Yes, let's put more thought/work into this. We need to accept that only 
a tiny fraction of LLVM papers are going to get added by the paper's 
authors. Searching for LLVM in Google Scholar seems to work well, and I 
have a standing alert there to tell me about new LLVM papers.

We added the pubs page (and I force added news papers to it for a long time)
because there wasn’t a good external thing to point to.  Would it make sense to
“outsource” this to Google Scholar or some other service?
