Hi Scott,
apologies for not answering before.
Regarding the file format freeze I suggest it to be the release time. There is
no gain from requiring the file format to be frozen after the rc stage, and if
some change goes after rc that is because it was considered important enough
to warrant a nod from you.
So I am suggesting that if some important fix, that involves a file format
change, is considered for inclusion after the first release candidate it
should still go on. Again I reiterate that this is for something that yourself
regard as important.
Another important criteria is that lyx2lyx code will be back-ported to lyx
2.1.x (x==5 ?) just after 2.2.0 release so any rc-stage change to the file
format will not affect this.
I have fought this battle before... :-)
In the best case this is an academic discussion and no file format change will
be necessary. :-)
