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.
