I remember the time I was a lilypond-starter, I was pretty confused
about the order...

I'd vote for doing it better even if it breaks previous user codes.
Ofcourse we should document all thoroughly and ofcourse there will be
some complaints on the list, which needs to be adressed.
We did things like that before, I remember the change with the bar-lines ...

my 2 cents,
  Harm
