There is the latest release, the latest beta, and a CVS version.  
Nothing else. The beta is only released when a major version is about  
to be released; one then wants the new major version to be bug free,  
which is why one wants people to try it out. Otherwise, there are  
minor releases, as well. Only the latest version is supported. The  
problem with Bison is that there are many old versions in use, and  
people are reluctant to use a version they do not think will be bug- 
free enough. Flex only has the latest version and the CVS version;  
only the CVS version compiles under BSD (like the Mac OS X FreeBSD).

I guess that corresponds to "help-bison".

Thanks for the info. I begin to worry about the term "unstable  
branch". :-)

You would, as you know it is a bug. :-)
