The idea was to reduce the number of choices to make for developers and
users. Offering a reasonable canonical way of doing things is better
for that than adding more options without preference.
Most of existing user files do not _need_ changing to continue working
as before. Similarly, most of the existing LilyPond code base
(excepting the small amount of code tackled by the conversion rules of
issue 3231) would not need changing in order to continue working.
Changing it makes sense when it reduces the amount of complexity users
and developers have to deal with.
