The rule is pretty simple: If the patch changes what's written in the 
LyX file OR changes the LaTeX (or HTML, or whatever) output, then it's a 
format change; otherwise, not.

Can you go through your list and update the patches that are format 
changes to current master? I will then have a look at them and decide 
what's safe enough to include. Also, if there are any non-format 
enhancements that seem to you pressing for 2.4.0 (as opposed to 2.4.x), 
then let me know, and I'll have a look at those, too.
