Agreed, tho requiring a new version wouldn't be my preference (it would break build on SLES 12 based distros for IMHO no good reason - SLES 12 uses bison 2.7). Btw, with plural.y.in we have to be careful with release tarballs and generated files in source since plural.y might then be newer than the shipped plural.c.
