I don't agree. The conversion of LyX 1.6 to 1.5 works correct, you can test it e.g. by using our doc
umentation file. The opposite direction also works, as then nothing is done, LyX 1.6 will still use
the preamble commands. So exchanging is possible and I successfully work with that at work for
testing purposes.

For reverting: We don't have the case that \pdf_backref is "true". We only have "section", slides",
and "page". The page option is correctly reverted, the others can't as the "backref=true" that we
use currently is an invalid option. But you can see that these cases are not lost but will appear
correctly in the preamble of LyX 1.5 files. I tested this out.
For converting you are right, I missed to convert backref=true to backref=section. So please commit
the patch you attached and I'll add the 3 needed lyx2lyx lines for that.
thanks and regards
Uwe
