Too late ;-)
FWIW my CVSup copy seems happy with the change; it reported this when I
updated it:
$ pgcvsup
Connected to cvsup.postgresql.org

The gram.c,v file looks good -- it has the expected "state dead;" line.
A checked out tree from that updates fine. A "cvs update" to a checked
out tree direct from the main CVS server also updates fine.
