That is one option, versioning llvm (and allowing concurrent installations)
is another.

I really like to be able to avoid the external bootstrap altogether
(with RUST_BOOTSTRAP_PATH=/usr/pkg), which worked in non-bulk-build
scenarios easily untill the llvm update. But as long as the bootstraps
are in sync, it is not a very important thing.
