Lib/lib2to3/Grammar.txt seems like a modified copy of Grammar/Grammar. Can you state so somewhere, maybe in the beginning of Lib/lib2to3/Grammar.txt (the Note section).

One problem with the way it is now, is that there are changes done to Grammar/Grammar that are not put into Lib/lib2to3/Grammar.txt. Maybe they are minor, but I think we don't want them diverging too much.

Another problem is that the Note on Lib/lib2to3/Grammar.txt maybe irrelevant, since this is not the authoritative Grammar file.
