The intent was there, if clarification is asked for it'll be given. There's no need to be unnecessarily harsh on them because lyx uses xforms. The intent is and always was to use xforms. The klyx package was merely a port from one non-free lib to another and those who complained have in general been more concerned with the forking and duplicated effort than the non-free qt in use. This can all be resolved reasonably if people stay reasonable. (Please note I use none of the software mentioned herein, so this is only an issue for me as it relates to Debian..)
