which implies that UNO extensions can/should not use unpublished API,
right? Isn't this is somewhat too strong restriction?

Also, the restriction for our configuration isn't as strong as for UNO
API, so if an extension expects a certain configuration to work with,
and this changes in a future major update of OOo, then the extension
will break, too.

I suppose one can think of more things which contribute to an
extension's required environment, but are not guaranteed to be stable
over major OOo upgrades.

So: Shouldn't we introduce a max version?

Ciao
Frank
