Do we now really have a new file format, just because we added new styles to a
layout ?
Yes, see below.

files.
No. The changed layout file would also work with older fileformats, even with
that of LyX 2.0.6.
Is this the
outcome of a recent discussion on whether we can upgrade layout files in a
stable release series, or
is this a trick to fire lyx2lyx ?
Both. We need to run lyx2lyx. I could add the lyx2lyx routines also to an existing fileformat in
lyx_2_1.py but it was the consensus during the long discussion about my previous layout changes for
LyX 2. that we should do this using a separate fileformat and that the fileformat is just a number.
Moreover, the consensus was that adding/removing styles from layouts is no longer allowed in stable
series because this requires lyx2lyx and is therefore in the strict sense a fileformat change.
