The description you give "bugs to be fixed to set Firebird to the database we
will prefer" is not the same as "Steps to work with Base without needing Java",
the first one seems to correspond to tdf#51780.

You're right, my mistake here, it's the migration specific process, I've
changed some bugs to point towards tdf#51780 instead of tdf#116968

I suppose some bugs are more important than others but we may set the
importance on each bug. Then if we consider the most important are fixed, we
can remove experimental.

Remark: Personnally, I don't understand the interest of having so much META
bugs in general, taking a look at
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&limit=0&list_id=1593087&order=bug_id%20DESC&product=LibreOffice&query_format=advanced&short_desc=META&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr,
there are now more than 900 whereas we can just use SEARCH or "See also"
function to find bugs related. So let's say 800/850 bugs which clutter the
bugtracker if we consider 50/100 are really relevant.
