These grammars had previously undergone manual optimization. Consequently, the proposed approach can reapply the previously applied modifications to the grammars related to the new metamodels in an automated manner. This eliminates the need to re-operate the same manual refinements of the grammars obtained from the evolved metamodels. - The paper is about an interesting and relevant topic for the SLE community. Overall, the paper is well-written and structured. I found it easy to follow. I have only some concerns related to the evaluation presented in Sec 6. In particular, the authors should better describe the "Grammar Comparison". Currently, the comparison predominantly revolves around quantifying the extent of changes, deletions, and additions made to both the target and optimized grammars. However, it is important to clarify how such grammars have been "semantically" compared. Even though the number of grammar rules is (or almost) the same, it remains plausible that their behavioral characteristics might diverge. It is necessary to clarify this aspect to make the paper more robust and convincing. -
