After all of this discussion,
Sorry, but why do you decide before I could comment? Please read my comments from today.
it seems to me that the consensus is that we should not make major changes to layout files for minor releases.
Is it a consensus if one developer is not fine with that? What about the users? Have you ever thought about them and/or asked them? (Se my first mail from today.) If you want to kick me out of the development please tell me but this is not fair!
I understand Uwe's reasons for wanting to do so, but it will break a lot of documents for people whose machines do not automatically update when new class files are released.
Damn! The modernCV layout of LyX 2.0.5 _already_ fails with the modernCV versions of TeXLive 2009 - 2012. It also fails for all users using MiKTeX. So what does my change break?
For the document class files: I state it the last time: You have to fulfill the submission guidelines. The journals don't care of your OS and versions. If you don't fulfill the guidelines, you won't be accepted, point! If we provide layouts for journals, we still will be forced to update them if a new submission guideline came out, no matter if this means the addition of a layout style and the change of the number of argument of a LaTeX command. If my changes for the ACM journals cannot go in to LyX 2.0.6, I will stop to support any existing journal layout and also not write new ones because it then makes no sense that LyX provides any journal layout.
no regards Uwe
