No, it is not. It is just a workaround to make PDF suck less. For
interoperability, we have this OASIS standard called ODF.

It is not difficult at all. All one needs is to click on the "Export to
PDF" icon on toolbar.

I strongly disagree.

Wrong. A hybrid PDF is still a PDF. Also, there is _no way_ to differentiate a
hybrid PDF from normal PDF except opening it, So these files would not be
listed in open dialog.

It is no more cumbersome than normal save.

I can already imagine uninformed users trying to use export to PDF instead of
normal save in other applications, "because it works in LibreOffice", and
losing their work...
