This is where having built-in support for lyx2lyx would really increase
confidence.It means that eLyXer will continue to work even if you do not
update it for some release. In the current scheme, you would have to
update it at each format change in trunk if you want it to work with
trunk.

I know this has been discussed in the past, but it might be worth
reconsidering.
