Definitely. One big advantage of LyX is that you do not need to think if you
switch between minor point releases.
But who does this?
Have you have downgraded your LyX from e.g. 1.6.8 back to 1.6.3? That doesn't
make sense to me.
We already discussed this topic several times. It is impossible to provide
backward compatibility for layouts.
This is not true.
Sorry, but we have. That topic came up several times anybody added a layout.
However, look in the commit logs, several developers added new layouts or changed existing ones for
minor LyX releases.
Take for example the svjour layout revision we jointly did at the beginning of this year. We came to
the conclusion that with the old one you cannot submit to any Springer journal and therefore started
a major revision. For that reason you cannot compile svjour/mono files made with LyX 2.0.4 with e.g.
2.0.1.
