This is a conference with a serious amount of developers and distribution coworkers. If compiling Lilypond from source with default settings means not getting the full docs, this is what all major distributions will distribute: they all use compilation from source, not least of all to be compliant with the GPL (namely have binaries corresponding to the source). That's all. In my opinion not trivial if you want to address the large crowd, because they will get the stuff from the repackagers, not upstream directly.
