I don't think anyone knows. All of our schedules have been disrupted by
the craziness of the last few years. We are in a weird state where
development is happening, but we are not necessarily getting closer to
2.4.0.

Thanks! I think that's how we handle the translations of our manuals as
well. It would be nice if there were an easier workflow so that
everything could be in one .lyx file, but perhaps no such workflow
exists.

Don't worry about it! I'll ask you again whenever we are close to
releasing 2.4.0 if we really want lyx2lyx to get some extra testing with
complex documents.

Note that there are improvements to the dark theme in 2.4.0dev, so they
might not work as smoothly on 2.3.x.
