What do you all think?
Not arguing one way or another, but we could also dedicate one of the next development releases to Urs (who I never had the pleasure to meet, given that I only became really active in 2020). It would have the advantage that we release much more often (while there are no concrete plans for the next stable release yet) and we would only need to write a small paragraph to add to the release announcement. For example, we did this two years ago when dropping support for Guile 1.8 and dedicating it to Ian Hulin: https://lilypond.org/attic.html#LilyPond-2_002e23_002e8-released-April-24_002c-2022 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2022-04/msg00094.html (That's probably too short notice for the release I'm planning to do later today, but we could target the next one in ~3-4 weeks.)
