The file format change is _the_ reason why people are kept back with older
version of LyX. 2 or 3 years time is OK for a file format change but 6
months is obviously not.
i dont see that fileformat change is _the_reason_. we simply put too many
features in once and stabilization started too late (last spring).
there is no need to wait year and half for a first alpha imho.
also can't remeber that main issues were fileformat features.
No, as I said elsewhere, changes to the file format, as such, aren't
destabilizing. Some are. The renaming of flex insets at 403 took a while
to get right. Support for mathdots at 399 was simple. So it isn't the
format change as such that is the issue, but what's happening elsewhere.
