It is. The discussion here is about developer convenience (how painful
is it to read or modify a rule) versus developer convenience (what hoops
have you got to jump through to install a version of Bison that will
work, when building from a git checkout). Note however that the set of
developers affected by the second aspect is much larger than those
affected by the first. Lots of people who work on PG never mess with
the grammar.
