There is no "non-sense" when you talk about user experience. You may think that
something is (il)logical from some perspective, but please try to accept that
there is more than one possible point of view, and there is more than one group
of users of LibreOffice in the world.

While I would *personally* like to have "Clear DF" to remove every bit of DF
from selection, I know and accept that there are *sufficiently many* users who
*want* something that I dislike, and that demand *often* warrants the presence
of those things in the programs. E.g., I believe myself rather advanced user,
and as such, I *possibly* could advocate changing LO to *remove* DF as a
concept from LO (based on "I can live without it; it makes LO inconsistent, and
its documents hard to maintain when exchanging with users who use DF, etc.,
etc..."). But instead I am blocking any attempt to make basic users' LO
experience worse (which is suggested now and then by those ex-basic users, e.g.
who believe that they know how to fuse DF and style together), because basic
users are not second-class users.

Similarly, users who migrate to LO are not second-class users. And until their
expectations are not impossible in LibreOffice's paradigm, their wishes are
just as important as anyone else's.

It's just a matter of an option to be "strict". It would not hurt anyone.
