I think you will have to wait for Akim Demaille, who is developing Bison,
coming back from vacation for an answer to that.

Otherwise, I use it, and it seems to be OK. I think that the version there
right now is stable enough.

Is your distribution local? If it is just something rather local or
restricted, why don't you distribute it to see if people get upset, so we
get some bug reports. :-)
