I do not agree! You have most of the amsstuff in lib/symbols, f.ex.

...
yen                msa          85   0 mathord  x
checkmark          msa          88   0 mathord  x
circledR           msa         114   0 mathord  x
...
hexagon            wasy          55  0 x        x
...

it is no problem to add another (optional) column
where you define a package to which the symbol or
command depends. It is not only amsmath which is
irritating to new users, wasysym f.ex. too.

no, should be _controlled_ by LyX
