Yes.

Yes. It's completely useless with gs 9.22.

My answer was to implement the code in patchset #3. After some minor
modifications patchset 4 was accepted for master. The final patchset gives the
possibility to use the same options for 2.20 and 2.21, I thought that was
obvious.

I really thought my "I vote to include this patch in lilypond 2.20" was

There was an intense discussion about dramatically increased pdf file sizes
caused by a patch in ghostscript.
To make it short: I think this patch fixes the problem. Please test.
You will see no effect without a working extractpdfmark package.
one example: notation.pdf is back to 6.875.674 bytes.
