This was stated the other day by David O'Brien as his intention, so it may
not be wise to depend on bison being in current forever. However, there's
a port at /usr/ports/devel/bison which is currently at 1.27, and could be
upgraded to 1.28 either by politely requesting so from the maintainer
(wghicks@bellsouth.net) or by send-PRing your own patches :-)
