I use the \postscript a lot when typesetting contemporary music e.g.
like this:
\version "2.20.0"
wave_line = \markup {
\with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
\postscript #"0.3 setlinewidth 1 setlinecap [0 1]
0 0 0 setrgbcolor 0.00 -3.50 moveto
0.23 -3.71 0.47 -3.93 1.00 -4.00 curveto
1.53 -4.07 2.36 -4.00 3.00 -3.50 curveto
3.64 -3.00 4.11 -2.07 4.50 -1.46 curveto

These changes/improvements are exciting. Thank you and Knut for the hard work!
I would say that this step requires going to LilyPond 3.0, along with
removing all the features and commands that cannot be implemented in
the Cairo backend, or that we don't want to.
We can discuss this in detail later, but I think a major version bump
is not warranted, as we're leaving the music input intact.
I would also have been inclined to say this suggests a major version
bump. But if what you say is true - that input is completely unchanged
- then it may not be necessary. Will the loss of the ps-command affect
users?
