Why have a warning?
We do not have a warning for:
lyx -e lyx21x Customization.21.lyx
where Customization.21.lyx is already in 2.1.x format.
There is no warning for:
convert abc.jpg abc.jpg
ffmpeg -i abc.flac abc.flac
These are a little different though because I think they do actually do
something (not sure what though).
In the programming languages I know, there is no warning for something
like:
tolower('abc')
Or
echo "abc" | sed 's/a/a/'
On the other hand, I do see some reasoning for the change. Why would
someone try to convert a file to the same format? If they are doing
that, then maybe they misunderstood something so we should give a
warning to make sure they did not make a mistake and want to export to a
different format. Is that the correct reasoning?
