--- Comment #10 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
We have an inability to block MAR incrementals that are now enabled by default.

When coupled with the Windows registry warts of bug 164043 when MAR updates are
applied, the impact on MSI based installations makes LibreOffice very
unappealing in any managed environment. 

It now challenges individual users making for a poor user experience--self
inflicted by the project.

Really need to get a control in place on the MAR based incrementals to block
the updates. Avoid the only current functional workaround of *renaming* the
updater.exe executable!

As sberg suggested comment 6, seems instrumenting a test false of the existing
LIBO_UPDATER_TEST_ENABLE variable, and publishing those details, would be
reasonable approach.
