Well, you could add a @knownissues to the lilypond-book docs
mentioning the deprecated syntax.  We did that for \relative, after
all.  Now, we normally don't do things like this, but since the old
format is still accepted, I have no qualms about doing it.

If you're thinking about users, then no, we officially have No
Sympathy (tm)  for people who use unstable versions without reading
the Changes.  :)
