This is a bug report whose purpose is stated in the Subject and in the
original message posted to the discussion.  Could we please return to
that issue, and leave your gripes about post-self-insert-hook to
another discussion?

That's not the issue at hand.  The issue at hand is the question asked
in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=79047#5

I'd like to hear your opinion about that suggestion wrt CC Mode.  If
you are against that, please just say so, and then we will not make
the suggested changes in CC Mode.  If you don't mind, or want to see
the proposed patch, or have some other response to that question,
specifically, please voice your opinions, and let's move on.

Sorry, that's not relevant to this bug report.

I understand, but that is not what is being discussed here.
