It is fine, OOo did it that way.
No, not at all, OOo did *not* include all languages into a single installer.
The counter-question to that user at fosdem would have been "Would you
be OK with downloading more than twice of the current size in order to
only having to install one package?"
And to changing the installer type:
This would have major drawbacks as well.
* You have to build the installer as root/admin user
Where did you get that from? I haven't tried to build a mac package, but
I see no reason why doing that would require root rights.
* Installing multiple versions is more difficult, as is choosing a
destination for the installation
Well, you can at least choose the disk partition... I agree that it's
not really flexible though.
* You cannot install as regular user (you always have to identify as
administrator)
(authentication is done before being able to select a target-directory)
At least the latter is not true at all, or, as you prefer to say,
bullshit. You should check your facts before posting. :P
Drag-and-Drop installers are the preferred installation method.
Correct. But it's not the only available method.
But those technical issues aside, I'm against bundling all languages,
for the size reasons. I don't like it on windows, and I also do so on
other platforms...
Well, it's size vs. convenience. We have to balance somehow.
