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. regards, tom lane
