This used to work, in the same stable series of bison. It was 
never documented not to work, and perhaps is even documented to 
work.

Changing that is fine and --- in view of the other C++ problems 
using the C skeleton --- a good idea, but not in a stable point 
release.

It breaks a fair amount of software. It breaks stuff that, when 
reading the documentation, should work. Don't do that in a 
stable point release.

Do it in CVS. Do it for bison 1.5. It's a good idea, but for the 
right time.
