Quite; cf. such uncertainty - it probably makes considerable sense to
look into a migration strategy from Java to (insert anything else). Some

non-typed languages), and/or native C++.
What about the existing Java extensions? Quite a lot of people are using
Java to either writer extensions or use UNO Java bridge from an external
application.
Its not, at least that's my understanding, about removing the java-uno
bridge, or removing the *ability* to support Java. Its the thought to
consider not defaulting to *require* Java for the built-in bits, which
probably mostly boils down to defaulting base to a different backend for
file based databases and a redo an occasional wizard here and there.
Out of the over 3400 java files in the repos, over half seem to be tests
(some in directories called test/ others in qa/ - is there a
difference?), and over 200 are wizard related, so it seems a lot of UI
work to port these if they are all indeed part of the default install.
