Hi,

I do not know about the future, but the TDF board should inform the teams
(esp. the documentation team) at least one version prior of such a change
(if being planned for 7.5/(=8.0?), the LO teams should be informed by the
time of the 7.4 release) - so everyone can prepare accordingly (maybe the
Documentation team will then decide to not work on 7.4 guides but start
rewriting the online help and the chapters of the guides for 7.5/8.0 with
that change in mind - the default gui does not change the functionality
itself, just its accessibility and requires many changed screenshots in
guides, so a lot of work can be done even before 7.5a1 is available, even
today).

And another thing - there will be a lot of opposition to such a change - so
maybe when released - there should be a guide/wizard at the first start of
the suite to offer and explain/visualize the *two* (not 6 or 8) options -
classic vs. notebookbar. But I can't even imagine the fuss this would
create with help content and documentation, always mentioning the two
possibilities when describing the access to toolbar icons/items ...

Peter, I understand you - but I think it is inevitable that such a change
would come. And many changes to documentation as well.

Lp, m.
