I don't think we should care very much at this point: it will only become relevant when or if we want to consider: - making tree-sitter the default parser for C files. - removing the CC-mode code. The second is definitely not planned for the foreseeable future, AFAIK. As for the first, I can see reasons why we might want to consider it in the medium term, but definitely not for Emacs-29. Stefan
