Yes, easily getting an overview of what's in the help file. I have this
obsession with getting the big picture. Keyword search isn't everything,
as many long google hours have tought all of us, right? And I mean
on-screen, I can't carry around a printout. As you know, Lyx is pretty
bad at handling multiple open documents, which contributes to my desire
to have only one relevant file.

I read some of your links. Most of the reasons seem either outdated
and/or developer-/maintainer-centric, as opposed to user-centric.

However, I can see that maybe "customization" doesn't need to go into a
consolidated manual. That would bring us down to a relatively minor
reform: only merge user guide and extended features.

cheers,
Sven
