This topic is not only important for our community members, but for our
marketing and public recognition too.

If we want external people to test our release-early / release-often cycle,
installing a test/daily/beta version should not lead to deinstallation of the
version of LibreOffice they use for productive work. Similar problems might
happen to their user profiles.

We can't expect an average user to set up a virtual machine or create a test
user account to avoid such interaction. 

We got negative public feedback on our first Beta, now it's the same for the
present Beta. If we can't change the product's behavior in short time, we
should modify our website to describe different installation processes for
final releases and developer/tester builds.

Developers: Please check if this topic qualifies for an "Easy Hack" - and if
nobody considers it to be important enough to work on it, tell us, so we can
modify our website (perhaps leading to less testers, but to less negative
feedback as "premature project" too).

All: Do you think this topic is worth to be linked to the "most annoying bugs"
(BUG 35673)?
