If the user wants to open a file, there is a list with filters reading:
LyX Documents (*.lyx)
LyX-1.3.x Documents (*.lyx13)
LyX-1.4.x Documents (*.lyx14)
LyX-1.5.x Documents (*.lyx15)
LyX-1.6.x Documents (*.lyx16)
This might be rather confusing for users that switch to LyX 2.1 from LyX 2.0 and want to open their LyX 2.0 files.

I take it this is because we used to export to previous versions with those odd extensions, which we no longer do. We have not, in fact, done so since 1.6.x. Even 1.6.x documents exported from 2.0.x end in ".16.lyx", not in ".lyx16", so the last one is even misleading.

I'd suggest simply eliminating all those other filters in 2.1.0.
