Ah, "which" is supposed to refer to "would exclude" rather than "Ubuntu
16.04 and CentOS 7". I thought you wanted to avoid excluding the
acceptable listed versions. I probably would have understood had you
written:
Requiring Guile 2.2 would exclude (vanilla) Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS
7. I think that should be acceptable for master and future major
versions of LilyPond.
Sorry for the confusion.
