My own experience is very contrary to this. Institutions I'm/was working used linux based systems with central administration and asking for newer version which could possible break distribution integrity for rest of the people was out of question. I'm lucky if my colaborators are willing to use LyX at all and asking them for anything more than clicking on prepared button somewhere means let's use office instead ;) As a result I'm still mainly using LyX 2.0 and it might take next year or two when newer version will be rolled into my working environment. If we aim for faster release cycle I would be more happy if we change file format every second release or similar ;) Pavel
