Note the difference:

(I think this may make a difference in some more complex situations,
but I do not recall any immediate example.)
There has already been a *huge* thread on the -user list about
this, ...
I did not see that thread.
...and
the conclusion was that the only realistic change we could do was
renaming \times to \tuplet, and nothing else; the point of my
remark in
the bug tracker was to ask developers' opinion about actually doing
this, and not about reopening the discussion -- unless you have new
ideas, of course.
Then I do not think there is much point of making a \tuplet - it
would not even be righth, from the musical point of view.
