This OP is not concerned with the change to Chapter Numbering (bug 107573).

fwiw - this proposal was motivated by problems in:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/swriter/guide/chapter_numbering.html,
which is supposed to be a guide for how to use the Chapter Numbering dialog.

A. Notice the first (for me, almost incomprehensible) sentence in that guide:

   "You can modify the heading hierarchy or assign a level in the hierarchy 
   to a custom paragraph style."

If the proposed change is accepted, then I would write the first sentence as:  

 Use the Chapter Numbering dialog to assign heading levels to paragraph styles.

B.  Notice also the following sentence in the last section of that guide page

"2.  Click the heading level that you want to assign to the custom paragraph
style in the Level list."

iow, "heading level" is already used in help (suggesting that it is a "natural"
(unconscious) understanding of the meaning of the dialog). Anyway, if this OP
is rejected, then "heading level" should be changed to "outline level" to be
consistent with current terminology.
