I would describe it from this angle: LLVM is layered just fine. Usually the layering is enforced as we don't link all libraries to all targets and you will notice missing symbols if you violate it. It just happens that you can violate the layering with header-only implementations of features that are not catched this way and sure enough we a handful of cases that violate the layering this way
