Yes, that's true. But this also is not related to the availability of
the BasicIDE in general. Even if we found an easy way to disable the IDE
you still could execute macros from share/basic and user/basic.

While we are at it: currently we are thinking about a special
configuration setting in OOo that prevents the execution of macros if
they are not signed, even if they are not document-bound. I assume that
this is what you are talking about. The tricky part of this feature is
that then all macros OOo's needs for internal purposes must be signed
(that makes our build process much more complicated) and we must provide
a tool for admins to sign macros they want to deploy in their
installation. The setting and its handling are easy to implement.

Ciao,
Mathias
