The idea is that each license has a name.

Then some licenses might have synonyms.

The old GPLv2 WITH Bison Exception  is now known as the GPL-2 WITH
Bison Exception. The old name was GPL-2.0-with-bison-exception which
is deprecated.

What I am suggesting is that the name:

GPL-2.0-with-bison-exception =  GPL-2 WITH Bison Exception

this way the old name is not deprecated, it is just a synonym of the
GPL-2 WITH Bison Exception. So people can continue to use
GPL-2.0-with-bison-exception

synonyms could also have an approval process the same as licenses.
