Made legal in 2005. Hasn't been called as a penalty since 1991...and even then it was because a player "pulled" another player...not pushed them.
I've seen players pushed ahead in scrums as long as I can remember watching football. As long as forward momentum isn't stopped, and the ref hasn't blown the whistle.
