We do have the most recent stable version of LilyPond; they haven't had such a release in 5 years...
Oh, I actually didn't realize that when I was writing up the wishlist proposal. Sorry about that. I thought it had been updated at some point, possibly because it had been a while since I had downloaded and used LilyPond as an application, and it was updated during the time that I used it.
indisputably inferior
Yes, this is quite unfair in retrospect. I did have to remove some things attributable to incorrect memory from the wishlist proposal after I'd posted it, because I had essentially put everything I could think of in there to make it sort of actually have a chance to be worked on by Community Tech (although I'm not sure if that would actually have helped in the end). I think part of the problem was that I was comparing the LilyPond features available in Extension:Score directly to both the MuseScore desktop application and the MuseScore closed-source online player.
It's also because I was frustrated with trying to add snippets into articles; on w:en:Double bass, I think it took me about an hour to figure out that the paper size had to be changed to resize the image, and I had to set the instrument to something else because the audio was coming out as piano.
I still think it should be possible, at some point, to be able to link to full scores in their original source format; it would be nice to at least support hosting .mscz/x and/or .ly files on Commons. (Is it common for full scores to be written with LilyPond? I must admit I wasn't actually aware that people would transcribe orchestral scores in LilyPond.)
