I found myself wanting to open the same document sometimes in LyX 2.0

in LyX 2.0, but I ran into an error when trying open a LyX 2.0
document in LyX 1.6.5.
So I did a little experimentation. I copied the LyX 2.0 lyx/lib/lyx2lyx
folder into the LyX 1.6.5 lyx/lib/ directory. Then recompiled LyX 1.6.5.
Voilá. Now I can open the same file with either version of LyX. Am I
violating any taboo here? Does this void the LyX warranty?
This is normal. The lyx2lyx script shipped with 1.6.5 converts PRIOR
formats to the 1.6 format and vice versa. The version of lyx2lyx
presently in trunk will convert *any* (existing) format to any other
(existing) format. Since it's a self-contained python script, you can
indeed do precisely what you've done.
