Yup - the idea is that we want grahms fork of LilyPad to produce a reliable 
LilyPad from scratch.

I think it's worth it to do this to get 2.16 out.  Afterwards, we should do 
some brainstorming about better ways to package manage.  For example, brew has 
a lilypond OS X port of the stable version and jEdit can be used.  If these 
become the "Mac OS X" instructions on the webpage, people will actually get a 
better UI than if they download what we bundle.  It then becomes necessary that 
developer resources be spent on maintaining these packages, but it seems like 
this is a better (and more decentralized) use of our time than maintaining a 
GUI text editor.
