If you think this is the first time, you have missed a few times. The
revision process does not incorporate user feedback that we have seen in
between, and it is usually rather sloppy. If I would complain every
time a feature of mine did not get any review at all during the regular
review phase, people would be even more annoyed at me than they already
are.

For specifying the visual composition of a particular bar type: full
agreement. That makes excellent sense. What does not make sense is to
require the user to specify the visual composition of a bar every time
he wants to use it. That's WYSIWYG without style sheets.

I was of the impression that this was undesired.

I am not sure this would not be even more annoying when doing music
theory texts with lilypond-book.

We'd still need a way to configure the visual appearance.
