I support this idea. I finally got most of what I needed with a
couple of patches to 1.3.107, so if I find something hideously wrong
with 1.3.116 (I haven't yet, but I've been busy with other things), I
can roll back to that. But I started this round of trying lilypond in
1.3.92, and it was a long time between then and the patches to
1.3.107, and something pretty serious was broken in every version in
between.

Me too. And maybe the WikiWiki can make it easier to know where to
start on 1.4.x. Maybe it can have pointers to the changes for each
version, too. After all, there's no point in a new user starting with
anything later than the stable version until there's a new feature of
interest.
