I don't mind changing \times to \tuplet, and agree that the confusion with 
\time is a bad thing. We could make \tuplet accept 3:2 2/3 and 3.

Since it is a change that can be accomodated with convert-ly, we wouldn't even 
need a major version bump for it.

This should be a rather trivial change, so once we have consensus on the list
I would welcome a patch. It should include

- convert-ly and
- changes for all .ly's 
- updates of the manual.

the latter can be achieved with a music function.
