I want to let you know that I am currently working on the migration of AOO 3.4.x/OOo 3.x user profiles to AOO 4.0. I am also including the migration of extensions. I am currently not planning to adjust any of the mentioned strings as I think it is too late for its translation.
Is this safe? In a typical scenario, then, a user would have some extensions installed and he would see them imported in 4.0 without being warned about possible compatibility problems. Most of the extensions do not have a maxversion indication, so OpenOffice 4.0 will try and install them anyway, but some might be broken. And then the user is left alone in updating his extensions (which in theory he should be prompted to do after installation, assuming this mechanism is restored), but he wouldn't have a way to go back before it's too late.
If my tests work fine, I will check-in the changes this week. If we will include these changes into our AOO 4.0 release, I will help to update the above wiki page.
Let's keep them documented and see. Remember that we learned so far that a random user will manage to reinstall but not to do anything more elaborated, so if uninstallation/installation does not bring up a "Do you want to reset your profile?" dialog we still have a usability problem (which of course is not a regression, it's been there forever).
