Regarding point 3, continuing on the mailing list is making more people
view over the responses.  In my case I noticed the following:

LilyPond comes with a utility convert-ly which can be used for upgrading
LilyPond syntax.  The syntax in a file is specified with

\version "2.18.2"

(for example).  Running convert-ly with the options -e -d on such a file
will update the syntax from the version specified in this \version
header to the version that this version of convert-ly has been
distributed with.  Including updating the \version header.

The majority of syntax changes are caught and updated.
