GOP-PROP 4: lessons from 2.14

[Graham Percival]

http://lilypond.org/~graham/gop/gop_4.html

** Proposal summary

What went well, what went badly? This is a discussion only; it
will be summarized, and we will refer back to it in future policy
decisions, but no new policies will be decided in this round.

We’ll have (at least) two sections: one for facts that anybody
considers relevant, and one for thoughts and commentary.
