Horizontal Lyric spacing in 2.11

I have no problem with it insofar as it redistributes the systems over a
different number of pages and solves some problems with the header. But
it doesn't really take lyrics into account (yet).

And Reinhold Kainhofer (observantly) says:

Amen, brother. That's what I'm stressin.

Yup. And since a ChoirStaff is for choirs, I repeat my question:
Would anyone *want* this to be the case for *any* type of of multi-voice 
vocal music? Even if you have polyphony instead of chorale, would you 
want a big white space while the basses wait for their entry?

I know it's possible to fix it with a tweak. I'm pointing out my
problems with it because I assume that making something funky and then
explaining a recondite tweak to fix it is not the ideal order of
things. Discussion of this kind of issue is what development versions are for,
correct? If I'm thinking poorly again, please let me know.
