The simple fix for this problem is that we disable this option and
allow lyx to be installed without these classes. It is NOT our

We are! about 50% of the LyXers I know don't know anything about LaTeX
and will wonder why the collegue has a feature they has not. You can not
expect that an average user knows how to install a LaTeX-package.
I don't know if it's our responsibility, but to be honest I hardly know
how to install a LaTeX package. You had to put it somewhere and then get
the cache to update, IIRC. This might be completely different on Windows
of course. Anyway, my point is that it's not trivial for a user to
install a new LaTeX package.
That still doesn't mean we have to or are responsible though...
Maybe it'd be enough if we gave a better warning message and/or directions
to where the user can find more information about how to do it?
