AFAIK Clang is Free Software.  So, I don't see a valid reason to reject
inclusion of company-clang or equivalent into Emacs.  If it's in GNU
ELPA it's (virtually) in Emacs already anyway (we use the same rules for
the two, specifically so we can easily move code from one to the other).

My interest is in making Company into nothing more than an alternative
UI.  All the backends would be separate and usable as much by Company as
by completion-at-point.

Most of it (UI and backends) should also get integrated into Emacs.

> Clang specifically? That's why I suggested another minor mode.

Yes, ultimately clang-completion should be a separate package enabled
separately.  In any case I don't think any of those issues are serious
enough to be a reason not to make the clang backend work via CAPF.

Wrong question: the benefit would be for non-Company users.

Indeed, that's why it should also be done/doable when Company is not
being used.
