I don't know if that's something which could get a sufficient majority 
because it somehow would make Frescobaldi look like an official editor ;-)

Bit I'm quite sure it would be trivial to include such a functionality 
in Fresobaldi.
It would be simple to add a menu item that looks for updates, fetches 
and installs LilyPond, and finally adds it to the list of configured 
LilyPond instances.
Such a function could easily be added to the installation process of 
Frescobaldi.

Well, maybe a good idea to add that anyway.
