According to the [Classic Flang page](https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang),

> Classic Flang is used in several downstream commercial projects like the [AMD](https://developer.amd.com/amd-aocc/), [Arm](https://www.arm.com/products/development-tools/server-and-hpc/allinea-studio/fortran-compiler) and [Huawei](https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/ug-bisheng-kunpengdevps/kunpengbisheng_06_0001.html) compilers, and continues to be maintained, but the plan is to replace Classic Flang with the new Flang in the future.

I suppose one of the relevant questions here is: Has the future arrived?
