BTW if you are using Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS I created a 
copr repository:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jamatos/lyx-devel/ 

There is just one package in that repository: lyx-devel. The package is 
parallel installable with the stable version and it does not change, neither 
uses any of the stable settings. That means that it is safe to use and 
uninstall that it will not mess with the current stable 2.3.5.2.

Beware that if you save a document with lyx-devel the stable version will not 
be able to read it (yet). On the other hand you can have a look of what is 
coming next in LyX without risking any work and helping to stabilize the next 
version.

This applies as well, all feedback is welcome either here or on the lyx-devel 
mailing list.
