Let's suppose just a user .lyx file, not a system .lyx file. For example, if a user imports a .lyx file we update the .lyx file format. Why don't we update the layout format? Conversely, when exporting from 2.2.0 to 2.1.x, we export the 2.1.x .lyx file format, but we do not convert the layout. Ah, but I guess we just decide the work is not worth it to provide backwards conversion of layouts? That would make sense to me. I'm still curious about the forward direction though. Scott
