Well, maybe there is a misunderstanding here: I thought you meant to
implement DR into Bison itself?

Since your last appearance on Bison ML, a lot of effort were made to
ease your task to implement DR into GNU Bison: the interface has been
simplified a lot (I mean the programmer interface), many things have
been cleaned up etc.

It was made especially for people willing to implement something more
powerful than LALR.

So please, don't tell me you are going to release yet another Bison?
This would be a _big_ mistake for the whole community.

This is depressing.  So much effort was put in making your task
simpler...

Not Yayayayayacc, the community needs a powerful tool, not millions of
small tools.
