Uh, apparently not. Seems like I was confused about the difference
between s and \skip here. To sum what differences I know of:
a) s starts a Bottom context, \skip doesn't
b) s can take articulations, \skip (at least syntactically) not
c) s uses/sets the default duration in the parser, \skip doesn't
So basically the most noticeable difference for the first point is when
writing something like
\new StaffGroup { \skip 1*8 \new Staff { c4 c c c } }
as opposed to
\new StaffGroup { s1*8 \new Staff { c4 c c c } }
