Debian stable has 1.1.4fix3, so I guess quite some people will be bitten
by the file format changes (it happened recentely to a coworker of mine).

LyX 0.12.0 (at least) did use format 2.15.
I'd suggest an alert box if the file's lyxformat is greater than the
format recognized by LyX (currently a console ``ERROR'' message is output
if format - LYX_FORMAT > 0.05).
Attached is a patch for 1.1.5fix2; would you accept one for 1.1.6?
Beware--my patch is not sufficient: in 1.1.5, if a decimal
separator other than the point is used, Buffer::readFile will believe
lyxformat==2.00; thus no warning.
