           Summary: *NO* Bundled Extensions, please
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.3.0 RC1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

It looks like the process of packing extensions has changed in OpenOffice 3.3
and LibreOffice 3.3:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Packaging_Notes

Several extensions were included into LibreOffice 3.3, irrespect of the demand
of the end-user.

They are:

LanguageTool
MySQL connector
PDF Import
Presentation Minimizer
Presenter Console
ReportBuilder
Non-Linear Solver
Wiki Publisher

I beg to remove them, or, give us a way to select them for installation. All of
them are under "Extension" installation option, that is, either you get all of
them, or none of them.

These extensions are under the new --bundled option of unopkg, which prevents
it to be removed. One possible solution is to pack them into --shared option.

If questions rises on why on earth do I need to remove these nice extensions,
then I have to remind that in very large corporations with IT software
policies, some of these extensions are not welcome at all.

For instance, LanguageTool is not even localized into many languages. It should
be dropped, and left to the user the option to install it on his own. PDF
Import can be considered as an undesired feature that overcomes restrictions on
editing PDF.
