Omit the second comma.

"Testing" is misspelled. Also, I don't understand what the sentence is trying to
say. Perhaps "However, because nobody has committed to improving, testing, and
documenting this skeleton, it is not clear that it will be supported in the

I'd change to "In theory, parsers using %nonassoc could crash. This unlikely bug
has been fixed."
