I don't understand this "so".

The following should still be penalized since they are deficiencies even
on a ragged bottom:

a) a page which is considerably less full than the previous page
b) every page break, and most certainly inside of a system, should carry
   a penalty, giving Lilypond some incentive to compress systems iff it
   helps to avoid using more pages than necessary.
