Personally I'm rather uneasy about LyX shipping a layout file that
works only with the latest version of the modernCV class. The trouble
is that Linux distros usually lag for ages before shipping updated
versions to their users (and on Linux by default users cannot easily
update individual classes).
LyX cannot take care of what OSes do/provide. For example on Windows you get package updates
regularly every week or at least every time you upgrade LyX to a new version.
The authors of TeX-packages don't provide support for old versions and old versions contain in most
cases bugs and fixing them is in many case the reason for updates.

p.s. my tip: use TeXLive 2011 or newer because then yo can get updates as easy as with MiKTeX - just
a few clicks.
