But if, in the future, I or someone else took on this task of enhancing QueryParser, I'd like to be assured that the underlying Lucene engine will accept and support negative boosting. Is that the case?
Lucene will multiply negative boosts into scores just like positive ones. I've never been convinced that it makes much sense to use negative boosts in a scoring formula such as Lucene's, but there's nothing stopping you from using them.
