Wouldn't work.  Few, if any, developers use lily-git.tcl so
are unlikely to be in a position to fix it.

Developers seem to become more productive when
releases are make frequently.  If releases stop, for whatever
reason, development slows down. So if this is intended as
a means of coercion I think it is misguided.
