Which may be considered -- unexpectedly for some, perhaps -- not the optimal
solution for the complex problem of UIs (plural) legibility. There was an
additional LO functionality on linux, now there is no more. Big cheers to what?

I am myself a contributor, so don't take that tone with me, please. In fact,
don't take that tone with anybody, please, even with non-contributors, even
with plain dumb users.

To the business. Release notes for this (major) release do not take 5 minutes
reading, rather 1 or 2. I've reread them just now, for the sake of argument. I
do not believe I see the revolutionary changes there -- and how much will the
5.* installation take on disk? in memory?

So, is there anything there on years-long problems with Word format
interoperability -- which recently got SHOWSTOPPINGLY worse with #88697? Now I
can't send even a moderately complex text with bibliography to the editors
requiring word without re-setting by hand all bib entries (and what if they
should be numbered?). Formulas in word import/export -- don't get me started.

And it is word interoperability (not word UI mimicry) that buys you users, not
pretty themes or translations, even.

Enough, I think.
