Summary

When updating byacc to 20230201, I enabled the backtracking extension as it seemed useful and harmless. With a little more experience, it appears to have more impact than I initially thought and I'm no longer sure how useful it really is, so turn it back off.

I believe that dtc uses (or used) it?
But not in base, and the port already does the right workarounds.
