To whom it may concern,
The following just for info:
LyX/2 has made its way to Hobbes finally. Maintainer preferred to put
the program into TeX tools directory. I hope, my objections are
somewhat near to the intentions of LYX devel.
P.S.:
'ct, a leading German PC magazine recently announced LyX 1.0.0
basically as a TeX frontend.
