Fair enough, you don't need it. Everyone can list dozens of LibreOffice features that he/she does not need. We are talking about a small (1400 lines in Python) extension, so size does not matter. Of course it is not a core feature, and not a most wanted feature, but how many features are there, that has fewer users? E.g. localizations in minority languages, dictionaries in minority languages, non-linear solver, export/import filters of rare file formats etc. Nobody wants to remove them or not to add them, including me. I think the main problem with LibreLogo that it is an extension. Some people consider bundled extensions as bloat, that should be removed/integrated into core, whatever. While from the users' point of view it does not matter. We have a checkbox to hide bundled extensions in Extension Manager, we can make the default to hide those. What's the difference then between an extension and a normal feature? On the other hand, as Kendy pointed out, too, currently we don't have good processes to distribute and to advertise non-bundled extensions. They simply do not exist for majority of our users. Only a few hundred or thousand power users find them. Not to mention that they get community resources harder, e.g. localization and testing.
