The bison blacklist check was introduced with PHP-5.6.
for 5.4 and 5.5 we have the old whitelist and for 5.4 the maximum supported
bison version listed there is 2.6.4.
Sebastian, could you clarify which PHP versions do you feel necessary to
support bison 3 with it?
I think that 5.4 is out of question, having it in 5.5 would be nice, but
not really mandatory, as most distros will still provide legacy bison
packges before 5.5 is eoled.
(Fedora 20 had bison 2.7, fedora 21 has bison 3.0.2 but fc21 already ships
with php 5.6).
What do you think?
