Review Comment:
I don't know if we should add the "LLVM for databases". Mostly because the
primary source for it is from not the strongest source (slide show) and doesnt
appear in the other sources like the SIGMOD paper or other coverage.
I was reviwing the Wikipedia guidelines and they advise anything promotional
unless well-cited which this may get flagged for.
