Seems like an option to me (I don't think we actually know yet if there
will be interest in downloading the grammars from upstream or not among
potential Guix users).  Though FWIW, they can already use their own
grammars with "--with-source" transformations (to change an existing
grammar) or by packaging them (for new grammars) and the like (albeit
with Guix instead of Emacs).

Greetings,
Maxime.
