Yes, LilyDev 2 is outdated at this point. We'd need to update
the CG.

More generally, I am not sure that LilyDev is actually the
easiest way to get a LilyPond development environment now,
given how easy Microsoft has made it to get Linux on Windows
machines these days, with WSL. Judging from
https://github.com/fedelibre/LilyDev/issues/35#issuecomment-1295472993
I wonder if we should simply retire it and focus on making
the CG contain reliable instructions to set up a pristine install
of the latest Ubuntu version.

I mean, I do see that Dan and Jason have kept it working lately.
Still, a lot of stuff in there looks outdated, and it largely
duplicates the CG (plus the CI setup).

Best,
Jean
