Nothing very specific, no.

This is not a priority, no.  The main purpose of Emacs-24's lexical
binding support is to make it possible to use efficient
lexical binding.  Maybe for Emacs-25, we will want to encourage
conversion more explicitly, but not for now.  Note for example that
debugging lexically scoped code is not as well supported.

That would be nice, yes.  Feel free to install such changes.
