Well, to me this is a non-Yet issue, but a very real issue. I'm hoping that when Perl 6 goes 1.0, the grammar will have seen a lot of testing, and will be in some sort of final form. To me a language's grammar, once defined, shouldn't do a lot of changing, internally or otherwise. When was the last time C's grammar changed? Or even gcc's implementation of it? Of course, before 1.0 the grammar will likely undergo some major tweaking, fixing, and refactoring. It seems reasonable to expect people who do grammar mods before then to keep up with changes. /s
