I wouldn't worry about that.  I haven't been afraid of large 
refactorings in the past (in fact, we have a very big one -- possibly 
the biggest in the history of lily -- coming up).

The real worry is a financial thing. If not enough people sponsor 
LilyPond development, I shall be forced to take up a day job again. In 
this event, it is likely that development of Lily will stagnate.
