Hello,
Here is a trivial idea to limit the proliferation of
myfile-lyxformat-322.lyx files that are more annoying than helpful to
many people (or helpful in a Clippy sense). Can we at least use .lyx~ as
extension?
Patch attached. I do not know whether there are other things we should
care about.

Subject: [PATCH] Make *-lyxformat-* backup files use .lyx~ extension
At least now that look like real backup files
