--- Comment #4 from Petr Mladek <[email protected]> ---
So, there are two versioned paths:

   + user configuration uses major version, e.g "LibreOffice/4"
   + default system installation directory use major+minor version, .e.g
"LibreOffice 4.0"

Proposed changes:

   + user configuration path:
          + leave it as is for all 4.x releases
          + later decide to switch to non-versioned patch with 5.0 release

    + system installation path:
          + leave it as is for 4.0.X bugfix releases
          + use only major version for 4.X minor releases => "LibreOffice 4";
             it will be in sync with the user configuration path
          + later decide to use non-versioned path with 5.0 release

In each case, I would do this change only on Windows and keep Linux as is. The
versioned paths allows to easily install more versions in parallel there. It is
not possible on Windows even with the versioned paths because of conflicting
registry entries. Note that most Linux users use distro-specific builds that
usually use non-versioned installation path. The upstream Linux packages are
used there for testing or as a fallback.

Is anyone against this solution, please?
