This seems like a bad decision to me, for a number of reasons:
One of the ways old users learn to use new features is to run
convert-ly on their old source. If convert-ly creates bad
lilypond, it makes learning to use the new features difficult.
It means that nobody will upgrade lilypond who is working on a
large vocal music project. Therefore, the newer versions of
lilypond will get less testing on such projects.

I'm willing to believe there is no automated way to convert every
possible \addlyrics to an equivalent \lyricsto. I don't believe that
the most common cases couldn't be handled. For example, two verses,
with a chorus appended to the first verse, as in the example I
submitted.
