Assuming that users might have language packs installed in their OOs

language packs still there, but potentially incompatible (might even
lead to crashes).
What does "potentially" mean? Does it vary with the language, or do we
just don't know?
It should not vary with the language, but with the amount of changes
made. A good candidate for crashes or unexpected behavior would be to
remove a tab page in Tools - Options: since the tree view to the left is
loaded from the old language pack resource, but the code for the
corresponding page is no longer there, any attempt to create this page
will lead to a crash (or bring up another page if the id had been re-used).
So, 2.1 and further 2.x releases are (going to be) incompatible wrt
language packes, if not explicitly taken care of (read, no GUI changes)
correct? In other words that means, that we can not simply update an 2.y
with an 2.x (x < y), and therefor we shouldn't offer it.
