Will anyone object the idea of totally removing hasLayout() and the layout conversion process? Basically, any unknown textclass and unknown layout will act like a standard layout but will keep their names. Different textclasses can be applied to a document without the current unknown -> standard conversion. The motivation is that as long as these layouts look and work like standard, we should keep them to avoid data loss. The biggest change to everyday use is that when you apply an article layout to a beamer document, the original layouts such as frame are kept, and they will behave as usual when you apply the beamer layout again.
