afaik the current situation is :
1. user can change from anonymous anytime if he decide (and find it:) in
preferences.
2. patched functions are used only when no ~/.lyx/preferences is found - so
this patch does not change previously saved settings. likewise once anonymous
is saved in preferences, just starting new release of lyx wont automaticaly
change
from anonymous, so in this sense it is not revertible unless user
voluntarily
change it.
