I take it that the reason to have versioned user directories is so people can have parallel installations of 2.2 and 2.3, say. But you can still do that, of course, by manually setting the user directory. How many people do that anyway on Windows?
With TL on Linux, there are two local directories : one with admin privileges (texmf-local) independent of the version and one personal (~/.texlivexxxx where xxxx is the version number). Note the the first one requires admin action when TL is updated, for e.g. font management.
I wonder if it is alike on Windows, but could this be an inspiration to manage the problem ? Personally, I seldomly change the installed LyX user dir, but for testing purpose. OTOH, I do not really use LyX for production.
