I don't have details of exactly what uses of flexible array members they
were making beyond those permitted by ISO C. I guess the general point is
to be careful about disallowing such uses because it might break existing
code (so allowing plenty of time before a release for distribution
rebuilds to catch any problems with such a change, for example).
