I see. For example, I wasn't sure about changes to the preferences file. 
But I take it "LyX file" means ".lyx" file.

Do you mean by "safe enough to include" that they should be more or less

you take a look at while there were things that needed to be done still. 
I take it that this is not going to happen, right?
