It's probably a language thing... My use of the word 'shame' did not in any way imply that I think that anybody should feel shame, inadequacy or guilt for the fact that Lilypond does not always do what some of us would like.
The English idiom "it's a shame" means the same as the similar "it's a pity": they have different literal meanings, neither of which corresponds to the idiomatic meaning. I might easily say "It's a shame that it's cloudy today:" I am not blaming or criticising anyone for the fact that the sun is not shining: I am merely saying that it would be pleasanter if things were different from the way they are. Sorry if I offended anybody by my choice of words. The link you included is very interesting - although I won't hold my breath, because I see that the discussion has been going on for 4½ years so far.
