I think that this is equivalent to Graham's news item that says "Lyric ties
are no longer supported".

I'm with Graham on this.  If it's a regression, it's Critical, and it's
release-blocking, unless we say the regression is intentional.

I'm unhappy about the prospects of delaying 2.14, but I'm even more unhappy
about telling somebody who cares about lyric ties "Use 2.12 instead of
2.14".  Once we get to 2.14, we should be able to tell *everybody* "Use 2.14
instead of 2.12".

Thanks,
