-# It's currently false by default due to being newly added; please file bugs if

-# Other target triples are currently not supported; see #77084.
+# This is false by default so that distributions don't unexpectedly download
+# LLVM from the internet.

+# All tier 1 targets are currently supported; set this to `"if-supported"` if
+# you are not sure whether you're on a tier 1 target.

 # We also currently only support this when building LLVM for the build triple.
