However, if you do nothing, you also do not fix something broken.

A layout file that does not work with the current version of the related
LaTeX class/package is broken. 

A possible fix would be to indicate the fact by, e.g., a version number
in its name.


I agree that the responsible part is in the first place the LaTeX class
itself - introducing incompatible changes in a LaTeX class without renaming
is asking for trouble.
