And my proposal is to make an explicit exception for issues that limit
interoperability.
As Pedro explains: there is no serious workaround. Such issues are
really hindering people in using LibreOffice - we do not live and work
on an island.
Of course not every interop issue is serious; luckily many are little
differences. But to me, a real life policy is that interop issues are
not set to 'minor' by default.

Ciao - Cor

Yes, that is an easy workaround. But since sending the ODF to someone who is
not using LibreOffice will cause even more loss, it is a quite useless
workaround.

I can understand (and relate to) the logic but this means that LibreOffice
users will be proudly alone (a bit like the OpenOffice users, who can't even
save to MS XML)

In any case the Severity level is just a word. It is irrelevant if the
developers don't agree that interoperability is important.

Just my 2 cents.
