            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement

While it is a good thing to see LO package size being shrinked, being able to
perform partial updates would save a lot of time and of bandwidth for users.

As a first idea, I would suggest something similar to what Firefox is doing
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/UpdateGeneration):
- When a minor release (mostly for security or stability reasons) is available
(A.B.C to A.B.C+1), we should download only a partial update.
- When a major release is available (new features), we should download a
complete update or upgrade.
