Yes, for sure. The manual is bit lying. :-)
The cost of grafting is typically very low, and
order of magnitudes lower than a full rebuild of the dependency chain.
But if grafts is here, it is because of something. Therefore, I do not
understand what it does mean “ungraft”. Avoid the grafting mechanism
when it is possible?
All the best,
