However, you can replace the LyX 1.6 version of lyx2lyx with the SVN
version and it will automatically downgrade the file format if you open
it in LyX.
Not utterly save (make a backup of the old version) but very convenient.
I was about to make the same suggestion.
Note that the svn version of lyx2lyx should be identical to the 1.6
version so far as the import of older documents is concerned. The only
differences should lie in what is newer. Of course "should" does not
mean "is", but a quick diff shows that is more or less true. So it is
pretty safe.
