As a (former?) jazz- and bigband guitarist I strongly object. 

Also, there are some score interpretations that use lowercase letters to
denote minor chords, which would make interpreting C/e even more
dubious.

No doubt, LilyPond will get a setting to customize this, but
nevertheless I think it is not a good idea to change the
well-established meaning the slash.
