I am opposed to this. What is the benefit of a layout for a journal

should we invest time to write and, more important, to maintain it?
My understanding is that APA is used by a wide range of humanistic and
social sciences publications. It is possible that some of them would
indeed accept Latex (though maybe not likely), and others might well
accept pdf files, as limiting as that may seem.
And some people might want to use the APA class for their own reasons,
or maybe the APA will decide to start accepting LaTeX again, or who
knows what. The point was that if someone wants to write an updated
layout file, they can do so, and we'll be happy to include it with LyX.
But it probably does seem like something that's not very pressing.
