--- Comment #4 from Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) <[email protected]> ---
There was a change recently in the Expert dialog and now the finalized state of
settings is now respected there. Therefore the notion from bug #36019 comment
16 that these settings can be enabled/disabled by the user if they want - is
now obsolete.

So if an admin really wants to harden the installation (and our current
customer is into that), can do so and be sure that the user does not disable
the settings there.

About unopkg: it can work on different contexts, as the --help text says:

 --shared                expert feature: operate on shared installation
                                         deployment context;
                                         run only when no concurrent Office
                                         process(es) are running!
 --bundled               expert feature: operate on bundled extensions. Only
                                         works with list, validate, reinstall;

It makes sense that the admins should be able to deploy new extensions to all
machines, even if this is not desired for end users. The --shared mode is
exactly for that.

Therefore, the config keys should be respected if this mode is not used, but
ignored if it is.

This would forbid the end users from installing extensions for good (no more
backdoors via turning off keys in Expert config or using CLI), but keep the
option open for admins, who would not be locking themselves out from updating
their custom extensions.
