No, because it's not broken. One of the purposes of stand alone CC Mode
is to run on versions of (X)Emacs other than the latest Emacs.
Traditionally, define-derived-mode has had defects which have resulted
in bugs revealed by CC Mode - hopefully the last of these has now been
fixed. So it's handy to have a CC Mode which isn't defined by
define-derived-mode.
The main point of my bug report still stands - there are an unknown
number of programming language modes out there which are not derived
from prog-mode. This makes the sentence fragment referred to untrue, so
it should be modified.
