I am not asking for change, I just answer:

It came from you: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9376#comment:20

(It had to do with a pref2pref requirement you suggested. Since I wasn't 
able to do it back then and no one else jumped in, the original patch 
was never committed. Since the new patch does not take care of pref2pref 
either, I guess it wasn't that important after all. :)
