Because sometimes I'd like to read code. And it certainly does not help
much if I have to clean my display everytime I stumble across these
#ifdefs.

No. I want the code in a usable form. If that means I can't use the newest
version of some external lib in alpha stage, that's fate. Next try next
year. Even if said lib is the hippest of modern C++.

I know that you have some kind of preprocessor build into your eyes that
handles #ifdefs and creates some endomorphin if they encounter the sequence
"boost::", but I would not mind if you kept in mind the existance of poorly
equipped lesser beings...

Unless there are viable alternatives, yes.

Moreover, you decreed a feature freeze, basically stalling LyX development
for three months or so. Ok, I can live with that. But then I do not expect
_you_ to introduce controversial stuff like that. [Yes, I know, you send
the patch to the list, and I could hve tested it myself]
