OK. I just want to make sure we define "there are no regressions". These tests passed before edd37de8. So it is quite possible that documents that users have that compile with LyX 2.1.x suddenly fail to compile with LyX 2.2.0 because of edd37de8. In this sense, there is a regression. So there is a trade-off: the bad side is that there is the possibility that user's documents suddenly fail to compile. The good side is that we now encourage the use of polyglossia by default which apparently has advantages over babel. Jürgen knowingly made this decision and he knows more than I do to be able to judge this tradeoff so I hesitantly accept it. Are we all on the same page? Scott
