Look into the pgsql-hackers thread about it.  (The commitfest notes are
not meant to be a complete record of the mailing list discussions.)
I think the relevant part starts here:

There's nothing to remove there, since RANGE is in fact valid with many
of the alternatives for frame_start and frame_end.  It would be very
awkward to try to show this limitation as part of the syntax diagram,
so it's just specified in the text.
