The point is that run of the mill OSX users do not want to be turning
off a security feature that the operating system provides for them.

Telling people to turn off built-in security, install an app, and then
turn it back on again afterwards, is not the solution and will not
endear people to trying out LO, and/or keeping it. Oh wait, I forgot,
you have to turn it off again every time you do an update of LO or every
time you want to install a language pack, or else leave it off permanently.

I find it hard to accept that we advise users to upgrade their versions
of LO in general when sec vulns get fixed whilst telling the OSX
population to turn off their own security mechanisms, seems somewhat
hypocritical to me.

Of course, if you don't care, then you can leave the setting off by
default, but that is not what happens in default off the shelf sales of
Apple hard/software combinations and those are the people we are trying
to target.

Of course, none of this will be sorted until such time as LibreOffice is
available in the AppleStore as a certified app, but that will not happen
soon, if at all, if my understanding of Apple's conditions for accepting
apps is correct.
