Yes, because of these Linux developers.

That's not the problem, IMHO. 
It can be done as soon as 2.1 is a branch in trunk.

I have no problem with all these proposals and I'd like to work on them
after 2.1 is released. The general solution cannot be done with 2.1.

It would be a pity to have the same situation again we had when going from
1.6 to 2.0. There was a document to tell the users how to copy the preferences
manually before starting the new LyX the first time.
