I suppose that the wording of the Gabor's proposal is a bit misleading; and also this issue combines several: 1. Remove the "FTP" protocol radiobutton (and hence the whole Protocol section) from the Hyperlink dialog [1]; *assume* HTTP *when user does not provide the schema explicitly* in the URL - but as before, accept any explicitly passed schema. 2. Remove the FTP option from Open Remote/Save Remote [2]. 3. Remove the possibility to e.g. link to external data from Calc (like Sheet->Link to External Data [3], or WEBSERVICE spreadsheet function [4]). Also I suppose that ESC decision was about #2 and #3.
